While Drogheda United deal with the disappointment of expulsion from the Conference League, they must also plan on felling Derry City. Hosted by Derry City, these two will face off on Saturday in the League of Ireland Premier Division matchday 24. Below we have a prediction for the match.
Derry City start the weekend placed fourth, a point behind Drogheda but with two games in hand. They warmed up for this key encounter with back-to-back away wins.
A pair of 1-0 victories against Shelbourne and St. Patricks have the hosts on a three-match unbeaten run. However, they are winless in the last two home games, posting a loss and a draw.
At the height of their engagements at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, results on the pitch have been unstable for Drogheda. They are coming from a 1-1 draw with Cork City.
While that was their second undefeated outing, the visitors have just two wins in their last nine matches. Half of their previous 10 outings returned draws, and they start the weekend 10 points behind the league leaders.
At a tally of 11, no team has drawn as many games as Drogheda this season. They have seven more draws than their hosts and two wins less. In the last four meetings with Derry City, the visitors are unbeaten.
