• Competition: Ireland Premier League
• Date: 27th June, 2025
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CEST
• Venue: The Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium

Derry City will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in the Irish Premiership to four games and sneak into the top three when they take on Drogheda United at the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium on Friday night.

The home side have done very well in recent weeks, winning narrow 1-0 victories in two successive games against Shelbourne and St Patrick’s respectively. With these two wins and the 1-1 draw against Galway United a fortnight ago, the team are now unbeaten in the league for three games.

Drogheda United, on the other hand, have not performed as well as Derry City in recent weeks, but have managed to stay in the top three of the Irish Premier Division with some decent performances. They drew 1-1 with Cork City in their last game after a 1-0 win over Sligo Rovers the week before.

Derry City - Drogheda United Betting Tips: Drogheda United to Win or Draw (X2)

Although Derry City have been on a good run in recent weeks, which is also reflected in the odds for this game, Drogheda United are not as big an underdog as you might think. The away side have only lost once in their last eight league games and although they have only managed two wins (2W 5D 1L) in that period, they have shown that they are capable of avoiding defeat and at least managing a draw.

They are also unbeaten in four away games and have not lost in their last four encounters against Derry City. Our betting tip is that Drogheda United will get at least a draw on Friday and we're betting on a double chance (X2).
