Derry team news and form: Hamstring blow for Derry

Player to watch: Warren Davis
Warren Davis earned his shout-out in our professional Derry vs Drogheda prediction, as he is the visitors’ top goalscorer this season. With seven goals to his name since the start of the campaign, the winger has proven his worth as one of Drogheda’s finest.
Can Davis score goal #8 this week?
In recent games, Drogheda’s manager has relied on the 5-2-1-2 formation, with Davis partnering up with Douglas James-Taylor in the attack. Seeing as he is lurking to beat that offside trap, we believe his chances of finding the net are very good this week.
