Drogheda vs Dundalk tips and predictions

Uncertainty in Premier Division clash; parity warrants consideration

There's not much between Drogheda and Dundalk in the Premier Division. The hosts are in ninth place with 11 points, compared to their opponents who are in tenth place on 9 points.

There are arguments to be made for both sides in this clash so be careful when picking a winner. With goals being hard to come by in the build up to this one, both of these sides will fancy their chances of keeping a clean sheet and it's certainly not one to go crazy about. That said, the draw is the play from the 1X2.

Both sides have reasons to be confident of keeping it tidy at the back. Drogheda have averaged 0.8 goals in their last 4 starts which isn't the form they will have wanted. Dundalk have only scored 5 goals in their last 12 games.

In previous matches between these sides 1 of the last 3 was a draw.

The match could turn into a game of small margins with the two sides ultimately proving fairly even. It's not huge value but the No BTTS bet seems fair enough.

Drogheda have drawn 7 of their last 15 matches on their own soil. Further, Dundalk have drawn 5 of their last 9 matches. Their most recent stalemate was when they drew with Shelbourne last Friday and while the prediction is for any stalemate, a scoreline of 0-0 cannot be written off here. It's not very exciting and it feels like a match to sit on the fence about. A deadlock awaits after what will probably be a low-scoring affair.
