St. Patricks take on the visitors Drogheda in the round 19 match of Irish Premier Division. The match will be played on Friday, June 13th at Richmond Park (Dublin).
St Patrick's haven’t won the League of Ireland title since 2013, but they've remained competitive, especially in domestic cup competitions. They last lifted silverware in 2023 with an FAI Cup triumph and also reached the League Cup final last season. In the league, they collected 59 points — the third-best total, only four behind the leaders. This season, Shamrock Rovers have begun to pull away, but St Pat’s remain firmly in the mix for second place. After a couple of stumbles, they bounced back in the last round with a narrow 1-0 win over Sligo Rovers, thanks to an early penalty converted by Kian Leavy. The result was vital in restoring momentum and keeping their top-three hopes alive.

Drogheda United have shown promising progress. The Drogs claimed their only league title back in 2007, and while trophies have been rare since, they did add a second FAI Cup last season. Their league campaign, however, was far more worrying — just 34 points in 36 matches left them dangerously close to relegation. What saved them was the complete collapse of Dundalk, who finished with a dismal 24 points, and Drogheda's own 3-1 playoff win over Bray Wanderers. Since then, they’ve looked much stronger in the new campaign, already surpassing 30 points. Still, their spring form has been inconsistent — a run of draws and a few defeats have slowed their push up the table. In their last match, they narrowly avoided a loss to Waterford United, equalizing in stoppage time to earn a 2-2 draw.
St Patrick's are unbeaten in the last six meetings, though four of those ended in draws. In 2025, both matches between the sides finished 0-0. The Saints are at home and need to capitalize against a direct rival. Back them to win. (Odds: 1.83).
Prediction for the match: St. Patrick’s to win.
