Drogheda United St Patrick's Athletic betting prediction

The home team is currently in the 9^th position of the league, with 20 points won, after 5 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Cork City, by (0‑1). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Shelbourne, by (3‑2). This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses in away matches; against 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses at their stadium. In the last 9 home league matches Drogheda has a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 8 points out of 27 possible. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (5 out of 9 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches for this competition there is a tendency for few goals, since 7 of the last 9 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 19 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Drogheda United enters this match after a defeat, by 3-2, on the trip to Shelbourne, thus adding the second consecutive defeat in this competition: the two goals of the team were signed by Freddie Draper. The local team usually plays in a 4-3-3 tactical system, favoring a more offensive style of play, attacking through the side aisles. In this drawing, the three men who will occupy the most advanced line of the field are Dayle Rooney, Darragh Markey and Freddie Draper: the last player mentioned is the top scorer with 8 goals scored. All players are available for this match.
