St Patricks vs Drogheda United Predictions

• Only Derry failed to score in fewer away league games than Drogheda’s two.
• St Patrick’s have just one clean sheet across their last seven games.
• The main selection won in four of the last six H2Hs at this venue.

A tight encounter at Richmond Park

While St Patrick’s sit pretty just one place outside of the European frame, the prices seem to underestimate the threat that Drogheda will pose in this encounter.

Granted, the visitors are only one place above the drop zone, though with two games in hand and a ten point deficit to St Patrick’s, the gap between these sides may not be so large.

St Patrick’s are now without a clean sheet in four straight games and given that they have the worst defensive record in the top-four, opportunities may arise for Drogheda to find some room in behind.

A likely stalemate

Visiting Drogheda currently enjoy a fine five-game unbeaten run (W2, D3) which includes claiming the scalp of title hopefuls Shamrock Rovers, the very team that defeated St Pat’s last time out. Such a sequence has us wondering whether there is value in the double chance/draw no bet markets.

We are opting for the both teams to score market this time around though, each of Drogheda’s last four games produced two or fewer goals and we can see this one producing a similar outcome, which we have covered with a 1-1 draw in the correct score market.
