Drogheda, after their comeback in the last game, will aim to build on that win when they host St Patrick’s Athletic in Premier Division on Friday.
They are comfortable at the edge of the promotion zone on the table. But the consecutive winless games will create problems for the host in their defense.
The host had just broken their four-game winless streak in the campaign with a win last time out. Their previous encounter was on the road and they defeated Waterford with a 0-7 scoreline. However, their third win in the league after a gap came against the team at the ultimate bottom of the table.
A series of nine unbeaten games in the campaign had put the visitor at the second position on the table this season. However, they will visit on the back of a 1-2 loss at home against Shamrock Rovers in the last league clash, breaking their unbeaten run.
There is no doubt that the match is sizing to be an away win in full-time. Despite the last loss in their schedule, St Patrick still has the squad strength to question the host’s defense. The visitor has won in their last three h2h meetings with Drogheda United in the league.
The host enjoys the ground advantage but has only one win in the recent five attempts at home. Apart from that, the away team has scored 15 goals in their 10 appearances until now. So, the tip for over 1.5 goals can also be considered for the encounter on Friday.
