① St Patrick's Athletic should control the tempo at home and dominate possession.

② Galway United will seek to frustrate and snatch a goal on the break.

③ A home win with a clean sheet is a likely outcome.

① Dundalk’s depth and away experience give them the edge despite Pats’ home spirit.

② Both teams have capable forwards; the midfield battle will be crucial.

③ Recent head-to-head results lean toward Dundalk; expect a tight 1-2 result.
