Drogheda United, Recent FormThe Drogheda United squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-2 away defeat against Shelbourne, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.
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 7 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 10 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games, and they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 games overall.
Despite picking up some valuable points from 2 wins, the 4 lost matches from 6 will be the main concern for them. If they want to get anywhere this season, they'll need to do something very quickly to fix their home form, having lost 5 of the first 9 league games at Weavers Park.
On an individual basis, Freddie Draper will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Drogheda United's last 6 league games.
St. Patrick's Athletic, Recent FormIn their previous league fixture, St. Patrick's Athletic managed a remarkable 4-1 home win against Derry City.
Manager Tim Clancy will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 15 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded at least one goal in 9 of their 10 games on the road.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 4 straight wins in a row.
Chris Forrester will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for St. Patrick's Athletic.
A defeat for Drogheda United in their last match against St. Patrick's Athletic was not completely unexpected, but they will have been disappointed to lose by 3 goals.
Saints will be confident of finding the net in this one against Drogheda, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 12 encounters between the two sides. In their recent meetings The Drogs have struggled to keep St. Patrick's Athletic at bay, having conceded 15 goals in their last 5 games. The Drogs have struggled for goals when St. Patrick's Athletic comes to visit Weavers Park, having scored just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.

With both Tom Grivosti (Cruciate ligament) and Joe Redmond (Hamstring) being out for the rest of the season and Axel Sjöberg (Muscle) also unavailable in the shorter term, St. Patrick's Athletic manager Tim Clancy will be relieved to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
