Dundalk will look to stay in contention for European qualification places when they face a struggling Drogheda United in matchday 24 of the League of Ireland Premier Division. This match on Friday at Oriel Park between the fourth-placed Lilywhites and the eighth-placed Drogs is likely to produce excitement at both ends, which is the core of our prediction.
With 35 points from 23 games (W9, D8, L6), Dundalk are six points outside the top three and European qualification spots. Drogheda’s 22 points (W5, D7, L11) see them start this round just two points above the bottom two clubs, which are under relegation threat.
A 2-1 away defeat at Shelbourne last Friday made it two defeats in a row for Dundalk. This run of losses halted a sequence of five matches (W4, D1), which helped the Lilywhites stay in the top three race. The hosts will have to improve their recent record at this venue, as Dundalk lost three of their last five league games.
Drogheda lost 2-0 at home to Bohemians last Friday to extend their winless run in the league to eight matches (D3, L5). This has kept the Drogs closer to the relegation zone, while improving on their position depends on ending a run of five consecutive defeats away from home, each time conceding at least two goals.

Our Dundalk vs Drogheda United Prediction
Consecutive defeats have hit Dundalk, but they are still in the race to finish in European qualification spots. Drogheda are at the opposite end of the points table and are only marginally above the relegation play-off spot. Any hopes of moving up the table will depend on improving their away form, as the visitors have lost their last five away league trips and also three of their four recent matches anywhere.
Seven of the last nine league matches between these sides at this venue saw both teams score, so our Dundalk vs Drogheda United prediction is BTTS.
