In the last match, they have lost in an away match against Cork City by (5‑0), after in the previous match they have lost (2‑0) an away match against St. Patrick's Ath..

In the last 6 home league matches Drogheda United has a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 8 points out of 18 possible.

Drogheda comes unmotivated for this match after a 5-0 defeat against Cork. The main attack’s reference of the home team is the Irishman Mark Griffin, being that his better quality is the finalization. The home team must return to play in a 4-3-3 tactical system where the player responsible for putting his scent on offensive plays is the experienced midfielder Purdy. The Irish central defender Luke Gallagher is the highlight on the defensive line.

Confirmed Lineup: Stephen McGinn, Colm Deasy, Stephen Dunne, Kevin Farragher, Sean Brennan, Luke Gallagher, Adam Wixted, Thomas Byrne, Ryan McEvoy, Killian Brennan, Mark Griffin.
Coach: T. Clancy.

Analysis Bray

The away team is currently in the 3rd position of the league, with 25 points won, after 8 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Finn Harps, by (0‑3). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Bohemians, by (1‑2). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 25 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 10 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 32 goals scored and 17 conceded. In the last 7 away league matches Bray Wanderers has a record of 4 wins and 3 losses, so they have won 12 points out of 21 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 11 of the last 14 matches for the Premier Division, they have reached half‑time in front in 7 of those 11 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 7 of them.

Bray comes unmotivated for this match after a home defeat, by 1-2, against Bohemian. Like their "enemy", it’s expectable that the visiting team will choose to play a tactical layout in 4-3-3, where the three most offensive players are Connolly, Greene and Brennan. Then, even playing away home, it’s expectable that the visiting team will adopt a more offensive strategy, as they hold a higher-quality squad.

Confirmed Lineup: Peter Cherrie, Conor Kenna, Kevin Lynch, John Sullivan, Keith Buckley, Ryan Brennan, Mark Salmon, Gary McCabe, Dylan Connolly, Aaron Greene.
Coach: T. Clancy, G. Cronin.
