Over 1.5 goals at Shelbourne vs Drogheda 2/5 for Friday’s Irish Premier Division matchup

Posted May 12th, 2022 | By: Tom Dunstan

Competition: Irish Premier Division

Market: Over 1.5 goals

Odds: 2/5 @ 888sport

In a contest that could see chances at both ends of the pitch this weekend, Shelbourne will host Drogheda on Friday night.

Starting with the hosts, managing to make a much-welcomed return to winning ways last weekend, Shelbourne will be desperate to keep up that momentum here. In their 14 Premier Division matchups so far this season, they have recorded just four wins, three draws and seven defeats, scoring 12 and conceding 20 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 15, they open Friday’s fixtures sat down in seventh-place and holding a five-point buffer from dropping into the relegation play-off spot. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 2-1 win at home against Sligo Rovers, that result drew a line under their three-match losing run. Likewise, it should also be noted, this weekend’s hosts have seen five of their previous six Premier Division contests finish with over 1.5 goals.

As for the visitors, last seen putting in another dreadful display at the back, Drogheda also find themselves really battling it out at the foot of the table. In their 14 Premier Division matchups so far this season, they have recorded just three wins, four draws and seven defeats, scoring 16 and conceding 28 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 13, they open Friday’s fixtures sat down in eigth and holding just a three-point buffer from dropping into the relegation play-off spot. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 4-0 drumming at home against St. Patrick’s on home soil, Drogheda have lost each of their last three Premier Division matchups. Likewise, with the relegation scrappers seeing their last eight straight top-flight fixtures finish with over 1.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
