Both teams will be looking to return to winning ways in the Irish Premier Division when Shelbourne host Drogheda United on Monday. Shelbourne have drawn each of their last two matches, while Drogheda were defeated by Cork City last time out.
Having dominated the Irish Premier Division during the early 2000s – winning five titles across eight seasons – Shelbourne have found themselves bouncing between the top two tiers since being relegated due to financial irregularities in the aftermath of their most recent Premier Division title triumph in 2006.
However, following their fourth promotion in 11 years, former Chelsea winger Damien Duff stabilised The Auld Reds in the form of a seventh-placed finish last time out, ultimately finishing 15 points clear of the relegation zone.
Duff appears to have a major problem to solve across the coming weeks, though, with his side failing to score in each of their last three outings. Admittedly, they have played out successive goalless draws against Bohemians and Derry City, having lost 1-0 at home to St Patrick’s Athletic in their previous game.

Shelbourne vs Drogheda Prediction
We say: Shelbourne 0-0 Drogheda United
After suffering a bitter defeat last time out, we would not be surprised if Drogheda rock up at Shelbourne with the mentality of avoiding a second successive loss first and foremost.
Shelbourne are clearly struggling to create chances having failed to score in each of their last three games, so another goalless draw could be on the cards for Duff’s side.

Shelbourne vs Drogheda Team News
Shelbourne will remain without left-back Conor Kane due to a long-term knee injury, with Duff likely to be contemplating making a few changes given the short turnaround between fixtures.
Matty Smith and Sean Boyd both represent possible striking options to come into the hosts’ attack in an attempt to improve their fortunes in front of goal.
Likewise, Drogheda’s manager Kevin Doherty will not have pleased with his side’s performance during their defeat to relegation rivals Cork on Friday, and he may look to freshen things up.
Adam Foley could provide an experienced head in the visitors’ attack, potentially providing a focal point for them to play off.
