Bohemians make a trip to the United Park to take on Drogheda United on Friday, with the two sides currently sitting in the bottom half of the League of Ireland Premier Division table.

Despite both having been in mixed form throughout the campaign, they each head into this contest with a victory in their most recent league matches, which will be providing plenty of momentum for them.

Drogheda United are currently sitting just above the relegation zone, but due to their recent performances, they have been able to extend that gap.

There is now a 13-point gap between themselves and Finn Harps, which has provided a little bit of relief for the Drogs, which is something that they will be hoping to continue.

Despite sitting further down the table, Drogheda United have only lost once in their previous seven matches, and they bounced back from that defeat immediately with their most recent performance.

Kevin Doherty’s side defeated Dundalk 1-0 in their previous game, which was an impressive effort against the team in second spot right now as Dean Williams scored in the first minute to secure the result.

They have only lost three times at home, showcasing a lot more consistency in front of their own supporters, which is something that should help their confidence for this contest.

Bohemians might be sitting higher in the league table than Drogheda, but their recent form has not been quite as consistent, which has allowed the hosts to close the gap in the table.

A defeat on Friday would leave the two sides separated by a single point, but Bohemians should take some confidence from the fact that they won in their most recent league encounter.

Despite falling behind against UCD, Bohemians responded well with goals from Flores, Liam Burt and Dawson Devey to secure a 3-1 win.

Drogheda United news

Williams scored once again for Drogheda United in their most recent encounter, which was his sixth of the season, and he is expected to lead the line in this one.

Gary Deegan is another name that can be expected for the hosts as the experienced footballer should find himself in the centre of the midfield.

Bohemians news

Jordan Flores has proven to be the danger man for Bohemians recently in the attacking midfield role, adding goals to his name this season, which should keep him in the squad.

After their recent friendly against Union Berlin there will be no shortage of match fitness or sharpness for the visitors.

Prediction and Odds

Bohemians have recently failed to keep up with consistency, and that is something that could cause them issues in this particular contest against a team in good form overall.

Drogheda United might be lower in the table, but they should have enough quality and momentum to emerge victorious on Friday.
