Drogheda United, Recent FormHaving secured a 1-0 away win against UCD in their latest league match, Drogheda United will have a positive feeling ahead of this match.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 6 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 4, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Having found the back of the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Weavers Park, they are developing an impressive scoring record at home. With a defensive record of 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches, they can certainly claim to be hard to beat.
With an unbeaten league tally of 5 games from 6, their recent form should be viewed positively, especially with 3 wins thrown in.
Dundalk, Recent FormA 0-0 draw and a point gained against Derry City in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent for Dundalk last time out.
Manager Stephen O'Donnell will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 10 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 4 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches. It's fair to say they have produced a number of good defensive performances away from home, with 3 clean sheets in their last 6 matches on the road.
Unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches can be counted as a good run of form, particularly with 3 victories included.
On an individual basis, Keith Ward has scored in each of Dundalk's last league game away from home.
It was not a positive ending for Drogheda United last time they met Dundalk in the league, with the game ending in a 2-0 defeat.
Drogheda have managed to keep a clean sheet against The Lilywhites in each of their previous 2 meetings at Weavers Park.
In the league, Drogheda has a good track record when they host Dundalk, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
With no real injury worries, Drogheda manager Kevin Doherty will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
With John Mountney (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and Paul Doyle (Muscle) also unavailable in the shorter term, Dundalk manager Stephen O'Donnell will be pleased to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
