Drogheda United, Recent FormAn important point secured against Shelbourne will have left Drogheda United quite happy with their 2-2 draw. During that encounter they had 33% possession and had 11 attempts on goal with 5 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 14 shots on goal.
When it comes to attacking power Kevin Doherty will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 5 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 6 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
They've drawn their last 3 games, but their search for a win in a league game extends even further with 5 consecutive games without a win.
Derry City, Recent FormIn their last match Derry City enforced their superiority over Dundalk with a 4-1 home win. In that game they had 51% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Dundalk who had 7 attempts and 2 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Ruaidhrí Higgins will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 6 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 away games.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 away games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.
Patrick Hoban will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for Derry City.
The last meeting between these 2 teams in the league resulted in an unsurprising 2-1 win for Derry City.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Weavers Park, Drogheda have been unable to break through the visitor's defence and find the back of the net. Playing away from home, Derry City have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Drogheda. In their past 5 meetings, Derry City's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so The Drogs will have to take their chances when they come.
Derry City have been unbeaten the last 4 times they have faced Drogheda in the league.
With no real injury worries, Drogheda manager Kevin Doherty will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Ruaidhrí Higgins has a number of injury concerns in his Derry City squad to contend with: Sadou Diallo (Ankle), Patrick Hoban (Leg), Patrick McEleney (Knock) and Colm Whelan (Knee)
