Drogheda United, Recent FormDrogheda United will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 3-1 winners in their home fixture against UCD.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 8 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. They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games.
They've had a terrible run of form at Weavers Park recently and having lost 4 of their last 6 home games managing just 1 win.
Freddie Draper will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Drogheda United.
Cork City, Recent FormWith a 1-0 home win last time out against Shamrock Rovers, Cork City will be looking forward to this one, and there will undoubtedly be a mood of confidence among their squad.
Their boss Liam Buckley is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 12 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 6 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
Cork City will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form on the road. They've lost their last 5 league games in a row away from home and not recorded a win on their travels in 10 games.
Goalscorer Tunde Owolabi will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Cork City.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
The Rebel Army will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 16 encounters with Drogheda. When Cork City are away to The Drogs in the league, they know how to find the net, with 6 goals in their last 3 meetings and an average of 2 per game.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams at Weavers Park, Cork City has taken all 3 points and has not lost away to Drogheda in 9 games.
Drogheda manager Kevin Doherty has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Jarlath Jones (Muscle), Darragh Noone (Muscle) and Evan Weir (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Cian Bargary (Groin) and Albin Winbo (Leg) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Liam Buckley will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
