Drogs To Have No Joy

Our opinion is that Derry will prove too strong in all departments and we’ll therefore take the 1.80 that they beat Drogheda. This Full-Time Result bet looks like a value proposition.

1-1 Draw in Previous H2H Encounter

Derry City have triumphed in back-to-back League of Ireland games. The latest was away where St Patrick's Athletic were beaten 1-0 at Richmond Park. Tiernan Lynch's side had 45% possession and one shot on target, with Liam Boyce netting in the 29th minute.

Drogheda United played Cork City away from home in their previous game. It was a 1-1 draw at Turner's Cross Stadium. The Drogs had just 24% possession and totalled two shots on goal, while Shane Farrell was on the scoresheet.

Drogheda have gone unbeaten in their past three matches against Derry, with the last clash ending in a 1-1 draw at Sullivan and Lambe Park. The past 10 H2H matches have resulted in four Derry wins, three draws and three Drogheda successes.
