Dundalk, second in the table, have an important game in the title fight on Friday and must win at eighth-placed Drogheda if they are to stay in touch with the Irish league leaders. What to expect from the game and what to bet on?
Drogheda have been struggling, taking a single point from the last four rounds, which is reflected in the table. They are currently only eighth, but on the other hand, they have a comfortable ten-point lead on the ninth place.
Dundalk are in the exact opposite position, winning seven of the last eight league rounds and close to the top. They are still ten points behind first-placed Shamrock, but have two games in hand.
The home side rely on goals from striker Dean Williams, the Under-21 international has hit five times. The team’s most productive player is experienced central midfielder Ryan Brennan with a record of four goals and two assists.
On the away side, Patrick Hoban is firing it up, the experienced forward has netted eight goals and assisted once. Steven Bradley scored four times and assisted three, the 20-year-old Scottish winger is on loan from Hibernian.
Drogheda have struggled particularly in attack, scoring only three goals in their last five games.
And it will not be easy against Dundalk, the second team in the table has scored only once in the last six rounds.
Considering the form of Dundalk’s defence and Drogheda’s performance, I think the visitors will win.
