Our prediction for this Ireland Premier Division match:
Shamrock Rovers will look to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Dundalk when they take on Drogheda United on Friday evening. The Hoops are eager to retain top position in the standings, with the team eyeing their seventh away win of the process. The likes of Neil Farrugia, Ronan Finn, Gary O’Neil, Trevor Clarke, and Alan Mannus should miss out with injuries.
The Drogs, on the other hand, aim to escape the danger zone, but given their anything but good form in the Premier Division, home win should not be considered. Midfielder Freddie Draper is banned for the match, but there are no fresh injury worries in the away team. Anyhow, Shamrock Rovers are more of a team than Drogheda United and we predict that they will prove their worth on the field. In their last meeting the Drogs emerged triumphant, meaning that the visitors are hungry for revenge.
