Derry City will host Drogheda in Premier Division Round 20 on Friday. The two teams are separated by 13 points and four positions. At Brandywell Stadium, these two clubs will go head-to-head.
Derry City is third in the standings after 19 games, with 33 points. They won nine times, drew six times, and lost four times. It’s only a matter of two more points for the hosts to move up to the ECL qualifying round.
The hosts are coming off a 2-2 draw at home against Finn Harps in the league. They have been breached in five of their last six games, allowing eight goals.
Drogheda, on the other hand, sits in eighth place with 20 points. During the course of the season, they won and drew five times each while losing eight times. The visitors are only nine points above the relegation zone and are currently in third place.
Drogheda drew 1-1 with Bohemian FC in their previous Premier Division match. They haven’t scored in two of their last five games, so their attack hasn’t been clicking lately.
