Dundalk, Recent FormLast time out, Dundalk recorded an impressive 5-0 home win against Cork City. Their share of possession in that meeting was 58%, while racking up 16 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target, in contrast to Cork City, who had 10 shots on goal with 2 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 9 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 8 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 15, but conceded at least one goal in 12 of their 16 home games this season.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.
Drogheda United, Recent FormDrogheda United will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-1 away win against St. Patrick's Athletic. In that game they recorded 36 % of the possession, with 5 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 3 of their 10 shots on goal.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 10 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 9 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games.
With 3 matches lost and only 2 wins in their last 6 away matches lately, this has not been a great spell for the team away from home.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Drogheda United, Kyle Robinson will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Dundalk that came out on top with a 1-2 win.
Dundalk have scored in each of their last 19 games at home in the league against The Drogs. In their last 3 away league games against The Lilywhites, Drogheda have conceded a total of 9 goals and that's an average of 3 per game.
Dundalk will be looking to continue their winning streak against Drogheda having won in their last 4 meetings in the league.
Dundalk man Patrick Hoban will be confident about extending his scoring record against Drogheda, having hit the netting 4 times in the last 5 times they have met in the league.
With only Louie Annesley (Lack of fitness) and Andy Boyle (Lack of fitness) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Stephen O'Donnell will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With only Dylan Grimes (Knock) and Aaron McNally (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Kevin Doherty will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
