Dundalk 3/5 to beat Drogheda in Friday’s Irish Premier Division matchup

Competition: Irish Premier Division

Market: Dundalk win

Odds: 3/5 @ 888sport

Looking to make it back-to-back Irish Premier Division victories this weekend, Dundalk will host Drogheda on Friday night.

Starting with the hosts, managing to make an immediate return to winning ways last time out, Dundalk will be desperate to keep up that momentum here. In their 12 Premier Division matchups so far this season, they have recorded four wins, six draws and just a pair of defeats, scoring 14 and conceding nine in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 18, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat fifth in the standings and just two points adrift of breaking into the European spots. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 2-1 victory at home against Shelbourne, Dundalk have lost just one of their previous five Premier Division contests. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, Friday’s hosts are unbeaten in their last six home fixtures, a run that has seen them pick up four victories.

As for the visitors, watching their unbeaten run come to an abrupt end last time out, Drogheda will be more than aware that they face a huge task here. In their 12 Irish Premier Division matchups so far this season, they have recorded three wins, four draws and five defeats, scoring 15 and conceding 20 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 13, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat seventh in the standings and five points adrift of Friday’s opponents. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 3-2 loss away at Sligo Rovers, Shelbourne have still managed to win just one of their previous six Premier Division contests. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, with Friday’s guests recording just a single away victory so far this season, we’re backing a home win for the former champions here.
