St Patrick’s Athletic and Drogheda United go head-to-head on Friday 13 June 2025 in a crucial Premier Division clash. Kick-off is set for 20:45 CEST in Italy, Germany, France and Spain, with fans in the UK tuning in at 19:45 BST. The two sides will be eager to make a statement as they enter the second half of the season.
The atmosphere is buzzing after a short international break, and with both teams looking to solidify their league standing, this fixture promises plenty of drama. St Patrick’s Athletic will be keen to please the home crowd, while Drogheda United are determined to prove they can compete on the road.
How are both teams coming into this?
St Patrick’s Athletic have enjoyed a mixed run of results at home so far, picking up vital points but also dropping unexpected ones. Manager Damien Duff has expressed his frustration during training, demanding more consistency as his squad returns from a week of warm-weather training in Europe.
Drogheda United haven’t been far behind, showing flashes of attacking quality on their travels. They conceded late goals in recent away fixtures, leaving room for optimism that they can exploit any lapses in concentration at Richmond Park.
Our forecast
We expect an open, end-to-end encounter with both teams pushing for maximum points. Given St Patrick’s Athletic’s attacking intent and Drogheda’s willingness to break quickly on the counter, a match with at least three goals seems likely.
Our top prediction is for a 2-1 home victory, with both sides finding the net. If you fancy an alternate angle, backing Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 Goals could pay off handsomely in this one.
