Drogheda United welcome Dundalk at Weavers Park, Drogheda on Friday, Aug 28 at 8:45 PM in a League of Premier Division fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Drogheda United come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Dundalk, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 0D 3L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Drogheda United won their last outing, while Dundalk suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Drogheda United and Dundalk have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–4D–3W). Their last encounter ended in Dundalk won 1–2.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Drogheda United win or a draw looks most likely.
