Drogheda United, Recent FormDrogheda United will not be too disheartened with their 3-1 away defeat at the hands of Sligo Rovers who sit 6 places above them in the table. They came away from that fixture with 52% of the possession and clocked up 19 attempts on goal with 6 on target. By comparison, Sligo Rovers managed 11 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
Their boss Kevin Doherty is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 14 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 7 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table.
St. Patrick's Athletic, Recent FormLosing 2-1 home to Shelbourne won't leave the St. Patrick's Athletic squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 7 places above them in the league. In that game they recorded 57 % of the possession, with 15 attempts on goal, 2 on target. Their opponents found the target on 3 of their 11 shots on goal.
Jon Daly will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 5 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 8 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. In their last 6 away games, they have scored in 5 and kept a clean sheet in 3.
They have lost 4 of their last 6 matches, which will be a focus of concern, but their 2 wins in that period did produce some valuable points nevertheless.
St. Patrick's Athletic suffered the disappointment of a 1-2 defeat at the hands of Drogheda United the last time they met in the league.
Saints will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 14 encounters with Drogheda. When St. Patrick's Athletic visit The Drogs in the league, goals tend to happen, with 6 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 2 goals per match.
St. Patrick's Athletic has lost the last 2 times they've faced Drogheda in the league.
Chris Forrester is on a hot scoring streak against Drogheda, having scored in each of St. Patrick's Athletic's last 1 meetings with them.

Jon Daly has a number of injury concerns in his St. Patrick's Athletic squad to contend with: Tom Grivosti (Cruciate ligament), Ryan McLaughlin (Calf) and Romal Palmer (Lack of fitness)
