Drogheda United FC vs Shamrock Rovers FC Prediction: The hosts remain unbeaten in the league

Drogheda United sits pretty at the top of the League of Ireland Premiership with an unbeaten record so far in the league. They’ll be hoping to extend this unbeaten run as they prepare to take on Shamrock Rovers at the United Park on Friday. Shamrock Rovers, on the other hand, has just won a game in the league this season, and although they are a tough team, we think they’ll have a hard time against Drogheda United on Friday. My prediction here is a full-time draw or for both teams to find the net. Let’s analyze both teams’ forms, their key stats, and my expert opinion. 

Drogheda United (1st)

Form in the league: WWDWD

Drogheda United had a very poor campaign in the league last season as they finished at the second-bottom of the league and had to fight for their place this season in the relegation playoff zone. However, they started the new season on a phenomenal note, and they still remain unbeaten in the league after five games played. Their opening game of the season against St Patrick’s ended in a goalless draw, their second league game of the season against Sligo Rovers ended in a 3-0 victory, their third league game against Galway United ended in a 1-1 draw, they secured a narrow 0-1 victory against Bohemian in their fourth league game and lastly they eased past the defending champions Shelbourne in their last league game with a 0-1 victory. This victory propelled them to the top of the league table. They are currently top of the league with 3 victories and 2 draws from a total of 5 games played. 

Shamrock Rovers FC (8th)

Form in the league: WLDL

Shamrock finally put their string of inconsistencies behind them as they got their first victory of the season against St Patrick’s Athletics in their most recent league game. The game ended in a 1-0 victory to Shamrock, and it was Daniel Grant who found the net for Shamrock in the 64th minute. 

They started the new season with a 1-0 loss against Bohemian, their second league game against Cork City was postponed, their third league game against Shelbourne ended in a 1-1 draw, and their fourth game of the season against Sligo Rovers ended in a 2-1 defeat. They were knocked out of the Conference League knockout stage as they were defeated by Molde on penalties. They are currently 8th placed in the league table with an overall league stats of a win, a draw, and 2 losses from four games played.
