Yet another appealing game in the Premier Division. Drogheda United is in the 6th position from featuring in zero games. They host Shelbourne who are placed 9th from one games.

Drogheda United form and stats

In the previous season, Drogheda United's league stats were 12 wins, 8 draws and 16 losses, producing 7th place in the Premier Division. In these 36 matches they scored 45 goals and let in 43. Appearing as the home side in the former season Drogheda United delivered 7-4-7 (win-draw-lost) with 22 goals and 17 conceded.

This is expected to be a close game, with Drogheda United perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Drogheda United as a small favourite), we find six games. Drogheda United has won one of these, drawn two and lost three.

Drogheda United are traveling soon after this match as the Premier Division match at Shamrock Rovers awaits in three days.
