Drogheda United vs Derry City: Form, Recent Games, and News

Drogheda United Preview

Drogheda almost got relegated last season. Well, not almost but they finished right above the relegation zone and were among the weakest teams in the league. The new campaign needs to see at least a slight improvement so that they do not fight relegation until the end. They started with a single defeat in the first five rounds but the last five have seen a single win. They need to become more consistent with their performances.

Derry City Preview

Derry have been Shamrock's main rival over the past few seasons and they typically finish 2nd or 3rd. This was the case last season too and Derry finished 2nd in the league. They will definitely try to compete for the title this season but in order to do that, they need to stop dropping points against weaker teams like they did in their two recent defeats.
