St Patrick’s Athletic v Hegelmann Litauen Preview

St Patrick’s Athletic’s Form

Pat’s finished the 2024 season in rampant fashion, going unbeaten with 9 wins and 1 draw to go from mediocrity to finishing only 4 points behind league winners Shelbourne. This season, Stephen Kenny’s side have stagnated again to this point but will be hoping that Europe will again be the catalyst to another strong end to their season after going winless in their last 6 matches.

Pre-Season, plenty predicted Pat’s to be thereabouts for their first Premier Division title since 2013. Given the talent in the squad and Stephen Kenny’s unquestionable pedigree in the League of Ireland, that seemed a relatively fair assessment. However, as of yet, that hasn’t transpired, and a lot of that could come down to the squad's overall mentality not being where it should be, but if there is a sense, they may conveniently turn up mentally for the European Games for whatever reason that may be…

Their 0-0 draw with Bohemians last weekend made it back-to-back scoreless draws in the league and 6 games without a win, during which time they’ve only scored 1 goal, an embarrassment given the level of talent they’ve in attacking areas.

Hegelmann Litauen’s Form

Hegelmann finished runners-up in the Lithuanian top-tier last season, albeit they finished a substantial 12 points back of league winners Žalgiris; they also finished 13 points ahead of Kauno Žalgiris directly below them in 3rd place. This season they’re 3rd in the league behind Sūduva by a goal difference of +8 and league leaders Kauno Žalgiris by 6 points.

They’re managed by former Lithuanian International Andrius Skerla, who had 2 2-year playing stint with PSV and a 5-year stint with Scottish side Dunfermline Athletic from the years of 1997-2005 cumulatively. He took the role in 2021 following years working as an assistant in both their U21 and Senior International setups. Players to keep an eye on include Lithuanian International CB Armalas, who was once on the books of the Benfica academy, and another as keeper Šarkauskas, who has 4 clean sheets in 9 games this season.

Hegelmann Litauen have been in mixed form in recent weeks but come into this game on the back of a 5-2 win over Šiauliai, where interestingly 4 of their 5 goals came in the last 30 minutes.

St Patrick’s Athletic v Hegelmann Litauen Head-To-Head Results & Stats

This will be the first meeting between the sides.

Key Players To Watch

Chris Forrester – St Patrick’s Athletic

While the magic man is getting on in years at 32 and his minutes have considerably dropped in recent weeks. I’m expecting him to be returned to the starting side for this huge European tie. The former Ireland U21 is renowned for his technical brilliance, vision, and flair. He scores spectacular goals, like 25-yard volleys, and provides crucial assists.

Even if he comes off the bench in a cameo or two across both legs, I still think his performance will be crucial to their success.

Abdel Njoya - Hegelmann Litauen

Young Cameroonian Njoya (21) is likely the name to keep an eye out for on Thursday Night. This season, he has 9 goals and 1 assist from 21 games in all competitions. He is known for his physical presence and goal-scoring ability, leveraging his  6’1 frame to dominate aerial duels.

St Patrick’s Athletic v Hegelmann Litauen Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: St Patrick’s Athletic 2-0  Hegelmann Litauen

Pats have been poor this season but have come alive last season in similar circumstances when Europe came, and that may be on the cards again.

Hegelmann are very much an unknown entity but are performing well in their league and so can’t be dismissed.

I expect home advantage to be key in this tie; if Pats can’t capitalise on it, they’re in trouble for the broader tie.
