Drogheda United, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Drogheda United players having failed to take any points away from their recent 3-2 away defeat at the hands of Dundalk.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 10 and seen valuable points lost. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Shelbourne, Recent FormShelbourne head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 2-1 home win against Cork City in their last league encounter.
It seems pretty certain that Damien Duff will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 6 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
There will be mixed feelings from The Shels, having been undefeated in their last 3 away league games, but drawn the last 2 of these games.
Seán Boyd will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Shelbourne.
The last time these two sides met, it wasn't one to remember, finishing without a goal and both sides taking just a point for their efforts.
The Shels have been consistent in front of goal during their last 3 league outings away to Drogheda, having found the back of the net with a goal on each occasion. Shelbourne have managed to keep a clean sheet against Drogheda in 4 of their previous 5 meetings. Shelbourne have a good attacking record away to The Drogs in the league, having scored a total of 6 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 2 goals per game.
Drogheda player Ryan Brennan will be looking to get on the scoresheet again against Shelbourne, having scored 3 goals in the last 3 league meetings between the teams at Weavers Park.
Drogheda United 1 - 3 ShelbourneThere is only really one injury concern for the Drogheda manager Kevin Doherty ahead of this clash, with Ben Curtis (Hamstring) missing out, which gives Doherty a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Damien Duff has a number of injury concerns in his Shelbourne squad to contend with: Seán Boyd (Nose surgery), Mark Coyle (Knock), Conor Kane (Knee) and Gavin Molloy (Ligament)
