Drogheda Joined won’t need a rehash of their last outcome here after a 3-2 Head Division rout last opportunity to Dundalk. Dayle Rooney (54′) and Freddie Draper (72′) both scored for Drogheda United. Dundalk received goals from John Martin (91′), Patrick Hoban (28′), and Ryan O’Kane (23′).
Drogheda United has rarely recently displayed defensive toughness. In point of fact, Drogheda United have conceded ten goals in five of their previous six matches. Regardless, it remains to be seen whether or not that pattern will continue in the upcoming game.
Shelbourne go into this match following a 2-1 Chief Division win against Plug City in their latest match. Jack Moylan (83′) and Matty Smith (48′) scored for Shelbourne. For Cork City, Joseph O’Brien-Whitmarsh scored (87′).
Taking a gander at their structure, and Shelbourne have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing their rivals hit 6 objectives generally speaking. Shelbourne has the potential to perform much better in the back.
