Drogheda United vs St Patrick's Athletic Lineups and Last Match

Drogheda United

Drogheda were involved in a 5-goal thriller away at Shelbourne on Monday night but came out on the wrong end of a 3-2 scoreline. The visitors actually led 1-0 at the interval thanks to a 40th-minute effort from Draper. However, three Shelbourne goals on the run made it 3-1 to the hosts heading into the final 13-minutes. Draper managed to pull a goal back in stoppage-time but it proved to be a consolation strike as the match ended in defeat for Drogheda.

The hosts have no fresh injury concerns or suspended players ahead of Friday's clash with St Patrick's.

Predicted Lineup – Wogan (GK), Keeley, Ahui, Adegboyega, Deegan, Markey, Heeney, Foley, Rooney, McNally & Draper

St Patrick's Athletic

St Patrick's were in great form in their last game at home to Derry City. McGrath opened the scoring for Athletic in the 36th-minute, the only goal of the first half. Doyle made it 2-0 in the 62nd minute and although Derry pulled a goal back moments later, another two goals from Forrester and Doyle in the 67th and 79th minutes wrapped up a 4-1 victory for St Patrick's.

Jake Mulraney makes his return to the team following a suspension but there are doubts over Axel Sjoberg, Tom Grivosti and Joe Redmond due to injury.

Predicted Lineup – Lyness (GK), Breslin, Lewis, Curtis, McGrath, Forrester, Lennon, McCormack, Murphy, Doyle & Carty 

Starting Lineups

*Lineups are usually announced 1hr before kick-off

Player to Watch: Christopher Forrester

Forrester's career in England and Scotland might not have been successful but the Irishman has been back amongst the goals since returning to St Patrick;'s in 2019.

This season, Forrester top scores for St Patrick's with 9 goals in the Premier Division alone, and we're backing the forward to have another good game in front of goal on Friday against a leaky Drogheda defense.

Forrester scored in St Patrick's last game against Derry City and last month bagged a brace against Drogheda United in the pair's reverse league fixture, so you can see why we're backing Forrester to perform on Friday.
