A home win with goals at both ends
Drogheda United have done fairly well recently; they are unbeaten in their last four games, with two wins and two draws. However, Drogheda have five wins this season, and four of those wins came at home; they've managed just one win in 10 games away from home this season. Additionally, Drogheda usually fall short when they face St Patrick's; they lost 14 of their last 20 meetings with St Patrick's, with just two wins and four draws. For these reasons, we believe that St Patrick's will win this match; considering St Patrick's have no clean sheets in their last seven games, Drogheda should score as well.
Both teams to score
St Patrick's have been one of the top scoring teams in the Premier Division so far; they scored 29 goals this season, only two teams have scored more. Conversely, St Patrick's have not been able to keep the goals out, especially recently; they have seen their defence breached in all of their last six games. As a result, most of St Patrick's games usually feature goals at both ends; as both teams scored in five of their last seven games. Considering both teams scored in three of Drogheda United's last five games, both teams will likely score in this match.
