St. Patricks

Premier Division, 19:45 @ 30.10.2026

St Patrick’s Athletic welcome Bohemians to Richmond Park on Friday, 30 October, with second place in the League of Ireland Premier Division at stake. Alan Reynolds’ Bohs sit two points ahead of Stephen Kenny’s side heading into the final matchday.

The Saints have the league’s strongest defence, but Bohemians have been excellent away from home. With Pat’s needing a victory and Bohs only requiring a draw, I’m backing the visitors to take something from this Dublin derby.

How Are St Patrick’s Athletic and Bohemians Playing?

St Patrick’s Athletic Form: Strong Defence, Goals Drying Up

St Patrick’s Athletic have enjoyed a solid season under Stephen Kenny, conceding just 28 goals in 35 league matches and keeping 14 clean sheets.

However, the Saints are winless in their last three fixtures, losing to Shelbourne (2-1) and Derry City (1-0) before drawing 0-0 with Galway United. That latest result highlighted their attacking problems. Despite enjoying 64% possession, Pat’s managed only one shot on target.

Ryan Edmondson remains a dangerous forward, having scored twice in April’s 3-1 victory over Bohemians. Chris Forrester also provides creativity in midfield. With ten home league victories this season, Richmond Park remains a difficult ground for visiting teams. However, Kenny’s side need to rediscover their scoring touch.

Bohemians Form: Excellent Away Record

Bohemians saw their title hopes disappear following a 1-0 home defeat against Shelbourne last Friday. Nevertheless, Alan Reynolds’ side have enjoyed an impressive campaign, winning 18 league matches and scoring 60 goals. Their away record is particularly strong. Bohs have won ten of their 17 league fixtures on the road, scoring 31 goals in the process.

Recent away victories against Dundalk and Galway United demonstrate their ability to perform under pressure. Sam Todd remains an injury concern, although Reynolds has enough attacking quality to trouble the Saints. With a draw sufficient to secure second place, Bohemians can approach this derby with greater tactical flexibility.

Key Factors Behind My St Patrick’s Athletic vs Bohemians Prediction

Bohemians’ Away Strength: Bohs have won ten of their 17 away league fixtures, averaging 1.82 goals per match on the road.
Different Requirements: Pat’s must win to finish second, while Bohemians only need a point. That could influence how both teams approach the final stages.
St Pat’s Defensive Record: Kenny’s side have conceded just 28 league goals and kept 14 clean sheets, giving them the strongest defence in the division.
Recent Attacking Form: Bohemians have won three of their last five league matches, while Pat’s have failed to win any of their previous three.
Head-to-Head Results: The teams have recorded one victory each and a draw in their three league meetings this season. Bohs also held Pat’s to a 1-1 draw in the FAI Cup.

Full-time result (90 minutes)	Odds
St Patrick’s Athletic to win	2.05
Draw	3.30
Bohemians to win	3.30

St Patrick’s Athletic are narrow favourites at 2.05, reflecting their home advantage and excellent defensive record. However, Bohemians’ away performances make them an interesting alternative at 3.30. Their ability to secure second place with a draw also shapes my preferred selection.

St Patrick’s Athletic vs Bohemians Alternative Betting Odds

The double chance market offers another way to approach this final-day encounter.

Additional betting market	Odds
Bohemians or Draw (Double Chance X2)	1.70

Bohemians or Draw at 1.70 is my preferred selection. Reynolds’ side have won ten away league matches, and a point would be enough to secure second place. The outright Bohemians victory at 3.30 offers a bigger return, particularly if Pat’s leave spaces while chasing the result they need. Both markets apply to 90 minutes plus stoppage time. Prices may change before kick-off.

Beni

The conservative one

St Patrick's Athletic vs Bohemians Predi

Coefficient 1.70

I'm backing Bohs to get something here. Ten away wins this season is no fluke, and a point keeps them second. Pat's have to chase the result, Bohs don't. That suits my bet nicely.

Beto

The bold one

Bohemians to Win

Coefficient 3.30

I'll go one better. Pat's haven't won in three, and Bohs have been dangerous away from Dalymount all year. If the Saints start throwing bodies forward, I fancy Reynolds' lads to nick it on the break.
