Derry City vs Drogheda Prediction & Betting Tips (28 June)

Drogheda are guaranteed to finish bottom of the Premier Division, and it is easy to see why when you consider that the team have suffered several defeats at the top table of Premier Division. Although Derry City haven’t been in great form themselves of late, a record of 11 wins from their last 19 home matches suggests that they should have enough.

When Drogheda come calling in the Premier Division, under 3.5 goals tends to follow, with this being the case in 16 of the most recent 20 away matches played by the Drogheda outfit. Not only that, but 14 of the last 16 home games played by Derry City at this level have also produced no more than three successful strikes, so it is hard to see this pattern changing.

Derry City have played four matches since securing their place in the Premier Division, with no fewer than three of these encounters producing a clean sheet at one end of the pitch. This has also been the case in seven of the previous nine top-flight fixtures involving Drogheda, so any deviation from this script would come as a bit of a surprise.
