Drogheda: Awful form and last in the table (Recent form: L L L D L)

Drogheda are last in the table with 18 points or 5 behind their opponent in this game and safe positions. In the last round lost against Galway with 1-4 in a derby of the bottom, while before that won a point against Sligo Rovers after 1-1. Last 3 games in the league were against direct opponents in survival battle, but the team won only 1 point and lost 2 matches. Last victory was in April against Finn Harps with 2-0, while after that made a serie from 14 games without a win - 6 draws and 8 loses. Also their defense is awful with loses with 0-5, 0-6, 1-4, 0-5 and 1-4 in this period. So now are with 47 conceded goals after 23 games, which is worst defense from all teams in league.

St Patricks: Impressive performance in the previous 2 games (Recent form: D D L W W)

St Patricks are 9th in the table with 23 points or only 1 over the relegation zone, so the team is still under pressure. But in the last two games they improved a lot and got two consecutive wins over third in the table Derry City with 2-1 and 5th in the table Bray with 3-1, so these wins were against top teams. Last defeat for the club came against leader Cork City with 0-1 and this is their only defeat in the previous 6 matches, so very strong performance in the last couple of weeks.

NOWGOAL BETTING VERDICT:

Last head to head meeting between these two teams was in May and St Patricks won at home with 2-0. They are with 3 wins from the last 4 games with this opponent. Now, Drogheda are in awful form after 14 consecutive games without a win and huge problems in defense, while St Patricks are in form after two consecutive wins, so I expect an interesting derby of the bottom and over.
