Fridays Football Bet of the Day see’s me look to Ireland’s top tier and a match that looks good for goals at a very decent price.
Derry City vs Drogheda United
🇮🇪 Premier Division
⏰ Friday 6th August, 19:45
Derry host Drogheda at the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium on Friday evening. The hosts sit in 6th position meanwhile the visitors sit one place and two points above.
Derry come into this after securing a 0-2 win away to bottom side Longford Town. Derry have only failed to score in 4 games this season with three of those matches coming against the top two sides. At home, Derry have scored in 10 of their 11 games scoring 13 times. Derry have only kept 4 clean sheets in their 22 matches this season. Only one of those clean sheets have came at home and that came against the lowest scorers away from home, Waterford. Only bottom side Longford Town (19) and third bottom side Waterford (21) have conceded more goals at home than Derry (17).
Drogheda come into this game winless in their last three games, losing twice. Drogheda have scored in 18 of their 22 games this season scoring 35 times. Drogheda have only failed to score twice on the road this season with no side scoring more than their tally of 19. Drogheda have only managed 4 clean sheets all season with all of them coming against the bottom three sides in the division who are also the lowest three scorers. Drogheda have conceded 27 goals this season with 15 of them coming on their travels.
Bet of the Day
Both Derry and Drogheda have found the back of the net in 36/44 of their combined matches and will be confident of scoring once more. 7 of both sides 8 clean sheets have came against the the bottom three sides and with both sides already scoring in these sides three meetings this season, I’m backing both sides to score once more.
