Longford Town St Patrick's Athletic betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Despite playing away from home, St. Patrick's have a superior quality team compared to their opponents, so it is natural that they will create plenty of chances to score goals. On the other hand, Longford Town should play with a more defensive mentality, but will struggle to stop their opponents' attacks. Therefore, we believe that taking a risk in favour of the visitors in this match is a good option.
