Drogheda United

WDDWLW

Drogheda United will be looking for a repeat result of the 0-1 Premier Division success over UCD.

The only name on the scoresheet from Drogheda United was Emmanuel Adegboyega (73').

Fewer than three goals per game were seen in 5 of the past 6 fixtures where Drogheda United have been participants. Regarding the goal split in that period, opposition teams scored an aggregate of 4 and Drogheda United managed a tally of 6. That aside, we must now wait to see if the trend will be replicated in this upcoming game.

Ahead of this clash, Drogheda United are undefeated in their last 4 home league matches.

Dundalk

WDLWWD

In the game prior to this, Dundalk drew 0-0 in the Premier Division tie with Derry City.

A run of steadfast displays from the Dundalk defensive unit has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 4 from their previous 6 fixtures overall. In that time, their own forwards have managed to score 10.

Their previous form shows that Dundalk:

• haven't won against Drogheda United in games played away from home for the previous 2 matches in the league.
• are without an away win for the past 2 matches in the league.

If we look at their past head to head duels dating back to 20/08/2021, neither club has come out on top overall with Drogheda United winning 3 of those games, Dundalk 3 and 0 being drawn in normal time.
