Drogheda United comes from a 1-1 draw with Derry City; a match which they started brightly, but didn’t manage to maintain a consistency of the game. Still, it was Derry City who created the best openings of the match, and after Ryan McBride scored for City in the 32nd minute, Mick Daly managed to reestablish the balance by scoring a late header in the 81st minute.
On the other hand, Bray Wanderers will join this match completely disappointed after a terrible 3-0 defeat suffered in front of Sligo Rovers last week. Two goals scored by Anthony Elding, and a stoppage strike by Kieran Djilali placed Slingo on the top of the Premier Division table.
Drogheda United won all last 3 head-to-head matches against Bray Wanderers, the last two with two 3-1 victories and the third
one with 4-2. In addition, their latest results were much more impressive and they proved to be more steady in play than their rivals from Sunday.
This being said, I have no doubt that Drogheda United has all the chances to win this confrontation against neighbors Bray Wanderers, so I am going to place a bet on Drogheda’s victory. I bet 10 units at 1.70, with odds from Bet365.
