Eighth-placed Drogheda and league leaders Shamrock Rovers are set to square off at Sullivan & Lambe Park on matchday 26 of the Ireland Premier Division. The two teams have already faced each other two times this season, and the visitors have the upper hand, having avoided defeat in both encounters with one win; hence our prediction for a Shamrock Rovers win.
It's safe to say Drogheda have started to find their footing as they head into this clash unbeaten in their last two league games after an eight-match winless run.
Their recent match was a thrilling 2-2 away draw against Sligo Rovers and sandwiched in between is a commanding 4-0 home victory over Lucan Utd in the second round of the FAI Cup.
The Drogs have home advantage, but judging by their recent performances in the Ireland Premier Division, they are about to struggle for a favourable outcome, having gone four outings without a win.
Shamrock Rovers maintain a seven-point cushion at the top and are 11 games away from retaining the league title.
The Hoops' last league game was a 2-1 away win over Sligo Rovers, marking their second win and fourth game unbeaten.
In their most recent match, they beat Ararat-Armenia 2-1 in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round. Unfortunately, they couldn't progress to the next round as they suffered a 3-2 aggregate defeat.
