This is a curious fixture because we have two teams that typically do not have high scoring games. Right now, however, their performances have been quite the opposite and this makes us believe that we can expect goals. Drogheda are one of the weakest teams in the league but they have recently won a few games where they scored a bunch of goals. Derry City have also improved significantly in attack.

Drogheda have been looking good at home lately but Derry City cannot afford to drop more points on the road. With just four games left, they have to win every single one if they want to contest that title until the end.

Drogheda United Preview

At this stage in the season, Drogheda have nothing to fight for and nothing more to achieve. They are not getting relegated once again and will be back for another year.
