FW Predictions for Drogheda vs Shamrock
The Premier Division favourites are in action this Friday away at struggling Drogheda United. Shamrock sit 4pts clear at the top of the table and will be desperate to return to winning ways after losing their last league game against Dundalk.

Drogheda vs Shamrock Lineups and Last Match
Drogheda
The first half between Cork and Drogheda last week ended goalless but in the 67th-minute, Foley fired the visitors in front. However, Drogheda failed to hold onto their advantage, conceding an equalising goal with just 9-minutes left on the clock. That draw puts Drogheda on 24pts from their opening 22 matches and a win on Friday could take them above Sligo and into the top seven.
Predicted Lineup – Wogan (GK), Keeley, Weir, Ahui, Adegboyega, Deegan, Brennan, Markey, Noone, Foley & Rooney
Shamrock
Shamrock made the trip to Dundalk last time out and the favourites suffered a surprise defeat. Dundalk are a top side but Shamrock would have been expecting to come away with at least a point from their match at Oriel Parl. However, after a goalless first half, two goals in the final 16-minutes earned the home side all 3pts.
Predicted Lineup – Pöhls (GK), Kavanagh, Pico, Gannon, Hoare, Cleary, Towell, Watts, Poom, Greene & Kenny
Starting Lineups
*Lineups are usually announced 1hr before kick-off
Player to Watch: Pico
Shamrock's Cape Verde defender is enjoying another great season in green and white.
The 31-year-old is in his seventh season with Shamrock and has taken part in 20 league games for the club this campaign, scoring a solitary goal.
We're backing Shamrock to have another strong defensive display on Friday, one that will help lead the club to an important 3pts. The visitors have kept four clean sheets in their last six attempts and we expect the Drogheda attack to be very limited in this game.
