Dundalk vs St Patricks Prediction (Premier Division) Odds and Bets 14.09.2026
Dundalk and St Patrick’s Athletic meet at Oriel Park on Monday night in an important fixture in the European race. Going into Friday’s matches, St Pat’s sit second on 50 points, with Dundalk fourth on 40. Both sides have produced similar attacking numbers, but the Saints have been far stronger defensively.
Both clubs also play on Friday before meeting again on Monday, so recovery, rotation and late team news could still affect the market.

Dundalk have scored 46 league goals this season but conceded 45, highlighting both their attacking threat and defensive vulnerability. Their five league matches before Friday produced one win, two draws and two defeats.
St Pat’s have a much stronger overall profile, with 14 wins from 29 matches, 45 goals scored and only 25 conceded. Their last five league outings produced two wins, two draws and one defeat.
Key Factors Behind My Dundalk vs St Patrick’s Athletic Prediction
The biggest difference is defensive. Dundalk and St Pat’s have scored almost exactly the same number of goals, but the Saints have conceded 20 fewer.
Oriel Park should still keep this competitive. Dundalk beat St Pat’s 2-0 here in April, while the July meeting at Richmond Park finished 1-1. Across their three 2026 league meetings, both clubs have one win and one draw.
The short turnaround is another factor. Dundalk face Waterford on Friday while St Pat’s host Shamrock Rovers, so Monday’s final selection should be checked again once both matches are completed.

The numbers point towards St Pat’s. Dundalk carry enough attacking threat to make this awkward, particularly at Oriel Park, but the Saints have been far more reliable without the ball.
Main prediction: St Patrick’s Athletic to win.

St Patrick's Athletic or Draw
I want St Pat's on my side, but I don't need to be a hero about it. Their defensive numbers are miles cleaner and X2 protects me against another tight Oriel Park draw.
St Patrick's Athletic to Win
If I'm chasing the bigger return, I'll drop the draw protection and back the Saints. Same read, more bite.
