Drogheda vs St. Patrick's prediction 09.06.2023

• Competition: Premier Division
• Date: Friday, 9th June 2023
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK/20:45 CEST
• Venue: Weavers Park (Drogheda)

Drogheda fell to the relegation playoff zone after two losses in the last two matches. Last season, Drogheda escaped relegation, but it seems that this season, they could have so many problems. They will look to get back to the winnings in the upcoming game on Friday against St. Patrick's.

On the other hand, St. Patrick's are in the best form in the whole Premier Division. They are crushing the opponents at the moment with four wins in a row, so Jon Daly's team closed the gap with the league leader, Shamrock Rovers, to only four points. St. Patrik's good run will give the team confidence ahead of the game against Drogheda. 

Drogheda vs St. Patrick's pick: St. Patrick's to win

Drogheda are again one of the worst Premier Division teams. Before the season started, I even thought that are on the level of UC Dublin, who had collected only six points so far, 14 points fewer than Drogheda. Anyway, Drogheda is obviously better, but still, that doesn't change the fact that they will have so many problems keeping heads over the water. 

Drogheda have problems scoring goals. They are struggling even at Weavers Park, where Drogheda scored only seven goals in nine matches. Also, Kevin Doherty's team collected only eight points at home, so their struggle is very real. 

St. Patrick's came into the season as one of the best in the competition. Shamrock Rovers are probably the best, but St. Patrick's is keeping pace with them. Jon Daly's team impressed during the previous four wins in a row-run as they scored ten goals in those matches. 

This season, Drogheda and St. Patrick's already had two h2h matches. In both games, St. Patrick's won easily, 3-0 and 3-1. 

St. Patrick's are one of the best teams in Ireland, so winning against struggling Drogheda is something we should expect on Friday night at Weaver Park.
