Drogheda face Cork City in the Premier Division of Ireland on October 17. The match is set to start at 18:45 UTC.
All eyes turn to the pitch as Drogheda and Cork City are set to clash again, 4 months after their previous Premier Division face-off that concluded in a 1-1 stalemate. Drogheda come into the match following a draw against Derry City last Friday in the Premier Division, stretching their unbeaten streak to three matches. They have a key fixture leading up to the match against Cork City though, taking on Waterford in Premier Division. Their performance in this fixture could be a key factor in their preparations for Cork City. To regain their winning form, resolving their defensive issues will be crucial, given the fact they have been conceding goals for seven consecutive matches now.
Cork City's current performances leave more to be desired, as they prepare for this match after two straight losses to Galway and St Patricks, leaving them without a victory in their last three outings. Before facing Drogheda, they will face Shelbourne in Premier Division and St Patricks in FAI Cup, fixtures that are likely to influence their form and fitness ahead of their clash with Drogheda. Their defense has shown cracks, having conceded goals in each of their last three matches.
