The Drogheda United players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Waterford recently, that ended in a 4-2 defeat.  During that encounter they had 38% possession and had 6 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 6 of their 10 shots on goal.  

Supremo Kevin Doherty will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 14 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 7 goals they've managed to net.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 games overall.  

Results have been poor for Drogheda recently, with 4 losses and only 1 win from their last 6 league games their current form is not going to help them move up the table.

The Shamrock Rovers squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-0 home defeat against Shelbourne, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.  In that game they had 65% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Shelbourne who had 5 attempts and 3 on target.  

They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 5 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 9 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points.  They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.  

Goalscorer Johnny Kenny will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Shamrock Rovers.
