Prediction published on 20/09/2025, 13:45  by Thobelani Moyo in Football Predictions

Matchday 30 in the League of Ireland Premier Division sees Drogheda United set to trade tackles with high-flying Shelbourne at Weavers Park. Drogheda are currently in sixth place in the league standings, while Shelbourne are right ahead in fifth place. Here's our match prediction.

Drogheda United are going through a rough patch. Still searching for their first win since August 16th, they have gone four matches without a win across all competitions, recording three losses and a solitary draw.

During their last league game, they salvaged a point in a 1-1 away draw against Sligo Rovers. On the surface, it might appear to be a positive outcome, but that's not really the case, as it stretches their league winless run to four matches.

Home results haven't been any better. The Drogs are winless in their last three games at Weaver Park, recording two losses and one draw.

Shelbourne are in peak form heading into this clash. After going three games without a win across all competitions, they have turned over a new leaf, avoiding defeat in four games (W3, D1).

In their most recent league game, they salvaged a point in a 1-1 away draw against Derry City. That result extended their unbeaten league run to seven games.

The Shels have put on a convincing performance on foreign territory. They have won three of their last five outings and are unbeaten in two games.
