Shamrock Rovers can go top of the Irish Premier Division with a win on Friday. They are second in the table and are home to Drogheda United who lead the table by a point. Can Rovers go top? Here's our match prediction.
The home side have already had a good week after beating Sligo Rovers 2-0 at home on Monday. That ended a run of four games without a win, though three of those matches had ended in draws.
Four of their seven home league games have been won this season. Only one fixture has been lost and that was to Bohemians after leading 2-0. Since that defeat, four points have been earned from two home Irish Premier Division fixtures.
Drogheda United also won on Monday with a 3-2 home win over Cork City. The Drogs trailed in that match and eventually needed a 96th minute goal to secure the three points. They have also been struggling for wins of late and Monday's victory came after only earning three points from four games.
On the road, Drogheda have won three of their seven away league matches. The same number has been drawn with one loss at Galway United in late April. We tip Shamrock Rovers to win this match.

Our Shamrock Rovers vs Drogheda United Prediction
Both of these clubs had welcome victories on Monday. Drogheda United are top of the Irish Premier Division by a point but that position is under threat this weekend. A form guide for the last five league games has them behind Shamrock Rovers on goal difference.
Now they have to face Rovers away from home and in recent meetings, it's a game they have little success in. Shamrock Rovers also won on Monday and are dificult to beat at home. Our Shamrock Rovers v Drogheda United prediction is Shamrock Rovers to win.
