Following a recent loss to Shamrock on May 9, Drogheda aim to regroup and turn things around in this upcoming clash. Tightening up at the back might be their best chance to shift momentum, especially given the fact their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have struggled to keep opponents from scoring, conceding in their last four matches.

Derry City, on the other hand, enter the match on a positive note, having secured three victories in a row against Cork City, St Patricks and Shelbourne in their last three outings. Nevertheless, their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have allowed goals in three consecutive away matches.
