After the first nine games of the Irish Premier Division, Drogheda United are top of the table. The Drogs are a point clear and on Friday, host Shelbourne who are in fifth position but only two points behind them. Here's our match prediction.
Drogheda United have won five of their nine league games with just one defeat. That was a 2-1 home loss to Shamrock Rovers last month. Their most recent game saw them come from behind to win 3-1 at Derry City with all the goals coming in the second half.
That was their second successive league win. At home Drogheda have only won two of their last six league fixtures. Two of the last three have seen both teams get on the scoresheet.
Shelbourne will go above Drogheda if they win this match. They have also only lost one league game this season. That was when they were beaten at home 1-0 by Drogheda last month. They have earned eight points from four games since then.
On the road, Shelbourne have won two and drawn a couple. Their most recent away league fixture saw them draw 0-0 at St Patrick's Athletic. Eight of their last nine away league games have seen under 2.5 goals scored.
We recommend a bet on this game being drawn.
