Derry City to Win

Reasoning

Reason for tip

Derry City can make it three wins on the bounce as they welcome Drogheda, who are winless in their last seven away league games. The hosts have been more consistent and can capitalise on Drogheda’s poor travel record and off-field distractions.

Derry City 1-0

Reasoning

Reason for tip

Both sides have been involved in low-scoring matches recently, and Derry have made a habit of edging tight contests. A 1-0 home win looks a solid play given their defensive solidity and Drogheda’s struggles on the road.

Hosts to claim the spoils in Derry

Derry City should be backed to get a home win over Drogheda United in the Premier Division on Friday.

Drogheda are one place above Derry in the table but both teams have won more games than they have lost this season. Derry, in fourth, have ten wins and seven defeats from their 21 games, while Drogheda, in third, have won eight and lost four.

Derry maintained their winning run with a 1-0 victory over St Patrick’s on Monday, having just one shot on target in the game.

The visitors are enduring a difficult run of results on the road. Drogheda have not won any of their last seven Premier Division away games and have only tasted victory once in their last nine road trips. They were also kicked out of Europe due to multi-club ownership issues.

A 1-0 win for Derry appeals in the correct-score market. Six of Drogheda’s last eight games and Derry City’s last four have had fewer than three goals, and Derry City have won eight of their league games this season by the odd goal.
