Super Shels can run away with things against dire Drogs
It is bottom against top in the Irish Premier Division as Drogheda United host Shelbourne at Weavers Park and the Shels could have a field day against the side propping up the rest of the table and keep their lead at the top.
Shelbourne have won six of their last seven matches and Damien Duff’s men also boast the best away record in the division, with 22 points, six victories and just one defeat away from their Tolka Park home this season.
Drogheda have had a torrid time of things as of late in losing six of their last seven league matches and their defensive frailty have been exposed during this run, with heavy losses to Derry (5-1), Galway (3-0) and Waterford (4-2) across this run.
Against the league’s top side, Drogheda could have a long day at the office and Shelbourne could run away with things in this encounter. They have conceded at least three goals in each of their last two and Shelbourne could match that feat, with a 3-0 final score drawing the eye.
