A series of hard-working showings by the Drogheda United defence has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 4 from their past 6 outings overall.

🗞️ Team News: Drogheda United
Drogheda United boss Kevin Doherty has to choose a team with limited availability. Elicha Ahui (Knee injury), Paul Doyle (unknown injury), Josh Thomas (unknown injury) and Douglas James-Taylor (Thigh problems) are those who can’t be considered.
✨ Prediction
We believe that Drogheda United should get enough chances to score a goal against this Shelbourne team, however it is unlikely to be as many as the goals that they could concede.
We’re tipping a close game with a 2-1 victory for Shelbourne when all is said and done. Let’s wait and see how it plays out.
