Bohemians vs Drogheda United Predictions

• Drogheda won as betting outsiders in each of their last two matches.
• Bohemians have already failed to beat a side ranked below third-bottom Drogheda this term (2-2 vs Finn Harps).
• Bohemians failed to win four of their last six home games.
• Drogheda are unbeaten in four of the last seven away H2H meetings.

A tighter clash than the odds suggest?

While Bohemians enter this clash as strong odds-on favourites to win, they sit just three points above Drogheda in the standings and have already failed to beat this opposition just last month (1-1).

After following up a four-game winless run of home games with back-to-back wins, boss Keith Long will know better than to underestimate lowly Drogheda, after his side on the day failed to score in two of his last four personal home H2Hs.

Buoyant Drogheda could catch Bohemians

After posting possibly the shock of the season with a win at double figure odds against league leaders Shamrock Rovers last time out, Drogheda enter this clash in high spirits as their quest to avoid the drop continues.

That result means that Drogheda have now ended a rotten five-game winless run with back-to-back wins as betting outsiders. Inspiring further confidence will be their manager Kevin Doherty, who remains unbeaten after two prior personal clashes with Bohemians (W1, D1).

There is simply no value in backing Bohemians at the odds, so we predict that the value lies within backing the giant slayers Drogheda in the double chance market. However, we can see this being a very tight encounter which could well end with the same scoreline as their meeting just last month, 1-1.
