Drogheda United vs Shamrock Rovers Predictions

• Both teams have scored in seven of Drogheda’s eight home games.
• Shamrock have conceded in five of their last six games,.
• Rovers have won just one of their last five away (D2, L2).

Out-of-sorts Shamrock head to Drogheda

Shamrock sit in third spot in Ireland’s Premier Division but they are going through a bit of a rough spell ahead of Friday’s trip to relegation-threatened Drogheda.

Rovers have just one win in their last six games and their road record is mixed, with three wins, three draws and three losses after nine games.

Drogheda may be able to get something here but the best option for our main bet looks to be backing both teams to score.

There have been goals at both ends in each of the Drogs’ last four games overall and in seven of their eight home games. United have also scored 14 and conceded 14 across those eight games.

Shamrock have just one clean sheet in their last six overall and have scored in six of their nine away assignments, so both teams scoring looks likely here as both defences appear vulnerable.

Backing Drogheda in the double chance market came under consideration as they have only lost twice at home, while Shamrock have failed to win four of their last five trips and that run has included a defeat at bottom club Dundalk. The hosts should be able to take something from this game and a 2-2 result is the correct score pick as Drogheda score and concede on average 1.75 goals per-game at this venue, while Rovers have conceded at least twice in three of their last five games – including one 2-2 stalemate.
