Dundalk vs Drogheda United Predictions

• Dundalk have only lost three of their 11 home games.
• Dundalk have three wins in their last six at Oriel Park.
• Drogheda are the only team in the division yet to win away.

Bottom two clash at Oriel Park

The bottom two clubs in the Premier Division meet on Friday as basement boys Drogheda make the trip to Dundalk.

The Drogs have just 17 points to show from 23 games and Dundalk are two points better off. There doesn’t look to be a great deal separating these two sides but home advantage could have a huge influence on this game so a home win stands out for our main bet.

Dundalk have only lost three of their 11 home games and their three wins at Oriel Park have all come in their last six fixtures at this venue.

Drogheda are the only team yet to record an away win in the league and they have lost nine of their 12 trips, scoring just seven goals and conceding 26 themselves in the process.

This may well prove to be a game for the purists as Dundalk are comfortably the league’s lowest scorers with just 13 goals scored in 23 games.

Incredibly, DFC have managed to pick up 14 points at home with just four goals scored and all three of their wins have been 1-0 victories. They have eight clean sheets in 11 home games and can shut the Drogs out here so a 1-0 home win looks comfortably the best option for correct score bettors.
