Drogheda United form and stats

Drogheda United have collected 4 points from their Premier Division home games so far after 1-1-2. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Drogheda United, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The Drogheda United coach Doherty and his crew return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Sligo Rovers (placed 6th).

Preceding that match was the home game against St Patrick's that was lost 1-3.

Trouble hitting the net? Looking at this club's last 10 league matches, 8 have contained two goals or less.

Drogheda have scored {3 league goals} here from 4 matches, not a lot. Drogheda United have conceded 5 in these home matches.

Bohemians form and stats

The visitors are W4-D0-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Premier Division. Having won their last three away games Bohemians has no reason to fear anyone.

The manager Devine was unhappy after their last game, played at their home ground Dalymount Park. Bohemians suffered a 2-3 loss to St Patrick's (placed 2nd).

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Derry City at their stadium, the result 1-0.

Bohemians have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 5 league away games 6 goals have been scored. The Bohemians defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average ({2 goals} in 5 games).

Head 2 Head

Bohemians - Drogheda 3-1 was the product when this pair of teams last did battle, also in this season. Statistics for the previous ten meetings involving these two contenders are: two wins for Drogheda United, three draws and five wins for Bohemians. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
