On Friday night, Drogheda United will look to continue their recent good form as they welcome Derry City to Head in the Game Park in the Irish Premier Division.
Drogheda are currently fourth place in the table, occupying the last possible European qualification spot in the Irish top-flight. They are also just six points behind league leaders Sligo Rovers.
Tim Clancy’s team has hit form of late, as not only have they won their last four league matches, the home side are also unbeaten in six outings in the Premier Division, having recorded four straight wins.
Their recent Premier Division matches have been relatively high-scoring, with over 3.5 goals scored in three of their last four outings in the Irish top-flight.
Drogheda Utd are unbeaten in their previous four home matches, having lost just once in eight home matches in the Irish top-flight. Although their recent league matches on home soil have not necessarily been high-scoring, both teams have scored in five of their previous six games on their own patch.
Derry City have made a mixed start to their league campaign and currently sit eighth place in the table. Despite their relatively lowly position in the table, the visitors are still seven points clear of the relegation play-off spot.
City are four games unbeaten in the Irish Premier Division, having also suffered just one loss in their previous nine matches in the Irish top-flight. The problem for Derry City of late has been too many draws, as they have drawn five of their previous nine league matches.
