St. Patricks vs Drogheda tips and predictions

St. Patricks too short in the betting?

There's not much between St. Patricks and Drogheda in the Premier Division. The hosts are in sixth place with 15 points, compared to their opponents who are in ninth place on 11 points.

This isn't a confident view but the short price for St. Patricks makes them a no-bet. Drogheda don't look likely to get the win but they can make a match of it. With goals being far from abundant, a scoreless deadlock is the pick but it's certainly not one to get carried away with.

Both sides will be confident of keeping it tidy at the back. St. Patricks have averaged 0.5 goals in their last 4 starts - and Drogheda have only scored 0 times in their last 3 away trips.

In previous matches between these sides one of the last 3 has finished on level terms.

St. Patricks are the clear favourites and it is possible they just don't give anything away. It is not huge value but the No BTTS bet seems fair enough. What about total goals? Well it's Under 1.5 in this game after weighing up the chances of all outcomes.

St. Patricks have drawn 3 of their last 7 matches, including their most recent match when they drew 1-1 with Waterford at home in April. Drogheda have drawn 8 of their last 19 matches. It's not very exciting and it feels like a match to keep at arm's length but the draw is food for thought. Deadlock is the pick after what will probably be a tightly contested match-up.
