Derry City vs Drogheda United Predictions

• Derry have won two of their last three games by 2+ goals
• Three of Drogheda’s last five games have ended in a defeat by a 2+ goal margin
• Derry have kept three clean sheets in their last four outings at home

Derry primed to keep good run going

Three wins in a row have moved Derry into second place in the League of Ireland Premier Division, and they will hope they can continue that form in a bid to topple Shelbourne and win a third title.

They have been particularly impressive at home, registering eight wins from 12 attempts, with five of those victories accompanied by at least a two goal cushion.

Two of those have been in their last couple of outings at Brandywell Stadium, 3-0 and 2-0 successes against Waterford and Galway respectively, and they should feel confident of continuing that run here.

Drogheda in big trouble

The same cannot be said for their opponents, who head into this round of fixtures rock bottom of the table and with significant work to do if they are going to avoid the drop.

Drogheda have lost five of their last six outings, three of them by a 2+ goal margin, including a 3-0 hammering to Galway in their most recently outing.

They have also got a sensationally miserable away record, going winless from 11 attempts, a period that includes eight defeats, four of them by two or more goals.

I predict that Derry will win this game with a -1 handicap, selecting 3-0 as a correct score prediction.
