Shamrock Rovers, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 home win over Shelbourne in their last league game, Shamrock Rovers will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. Their share of possession in that meeting was 52%, while racking up 14 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target, in contrast to Shelbourne, who had 4 shots on goal with 1 on target.
Manager Stephen Bradley will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 2 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 7 goals. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 45 games in a row, and they've also kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games at Tallaght Stadium.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 7 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 7 games.
Drogheda United, Recent FormDrogheda United will have been reasonably pleased with their 0-0 draw against Derry City, not least because of the valuable point gained. In that game they recorded 34 % of the possession, with 4 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 20 shots on goal.
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 5 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games.
They've shown some decent form of late, being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches, with 3 of the 5 being victories for good measure.
Kyle Robinson will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Drogheda United.
The previous meeting between these two sides was not one to live long in the memory; that match finished without a goal, and both teams settling for a point apiece.
The Drogs defence has struggled at Tallaght Stadium, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 8 visits.
Shamrock has had a poor run of results against Drogheda having not won any of their last 6 meetings.
Drogheda United 1 - 2 Shamrock RoversWith only Jack Byrne (Knee surgery) and Seán Kavanagh (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Stephen Bradley will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Drogheda manager Kevin Doherty ahead of this clash, with Dylan Grimes (Unknown) missing out, which gives Doherty a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
