The head‑to‑head record at this stadium favours the away team, since in the last 7 head‑to‑heads they won 3, tied 3 and lost 1.

Griffin (66' ) scored for Drogheda United and P. O'Conor (61' ), L. Lynch (80' ) and A. Greene (90' ) for Limerick. Drogheda United registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.

Analysis Drogheda

After 4 wins, 5 draws and 10 losses, the home team is in the 10th position, havinf won 17 points so far. In the last match, they have lost in an away match against Shamrock Rovers by (4‑1), after in the previous match they have lost (0‑6) at home, against Dundalk. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 1 draw and 10 losses in away matches; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses at their stadium. For the league, Drogheda United won 10 points out of 27 possible points, after 2 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses in the last 9 home matches.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 5 home matches. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (4 out of 9 matches). In 19 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 20 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 9 of their 23 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Drogheda comes for this match after a defeat at Shamrock ground, by 4-1, thus totaling the ninth followed match without winning in this competition. In addition, the home team no longer win at home for five straight matches. In this match in front of their fans, the coach Pete Mahon should keep the team in the usual tactical system, that is, the 4-2-3-1, benefiting the ball possession and the paused attacks, however, in some moments of the match they should privilege the direct football for the centre forward Griffin. However, Adam Wixted is the best scorer of Drogheda: 3 in total. For this match, the home team’s coach won’t count on Brenann, a player who is recovering from injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Stephen McGinn, Colm Deasy, Ciarán McGuigan, Conor Kane, Sean Brennan, Luke Gallagher, Adam Wixted, Richie Purdy, Ryan McEvoy, Mark Doyle, Ryan Masterson.
Coach: T. Clancy.

Analysis Limerick

The away team is currently in the 7th position of the league, with 24 points won, after 6 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Cork City, by (4‑1). In the last match, they tied in a home match against St. Patrick's Ath., by (2‑2). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 20 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 25 goals scored and 25 conceded. In the last 9 away league matches Limerick has a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 11 points out of 27 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 19 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 10 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 4 of their 10 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Limerick comes for this match after a 2-2 draw against St Patrick's, adding up to the second match without proving the taste of victory: the goals were scored by Ogbene and Rodrigo Tosi. Recall that in the last match in this condition the visiting team lost against Cork by 4-1. In this away home match, the coach Neil McDonald should play in 3-5-2 privileging the medium-low block and counterattacks, thus exploiting the space on the opponent's back. The Brazilian Rodrigo Tosi is the great highlight of Limerick with 8 goals signed. It seems that there are no absences to register for this match.

Confirmed Lineup: Brendan Clarke, Shaun Kelly, Robbie Williams, David O'Connor, Tony Whitehead, Lee Lynch, Shane Duggan, Rodrigo Tosi, Bastien Hery, Brendan Clarke, Chiedozie Ogbene.
