Waterford United and Drogheda United meet in the league level on 37 points from 34 matches, with adjacent positions at 8 and 9, but they arrive in clearly different form. Waterford United have just won at home against Galway United 3-2 in the Premier Division on 19 Oct., while Drogheda United have just won at home against Derry City 2-0 in the same competition on 16 Oct. as well. Waterford United at home usually produce goals at both ends; their defence still leaves gaps for opponents to come and share the points often. Drogheda United, meanwhile, seem to set up more solidly in recent matches, but away from home they tend to come under pressure early and concede first, judging by the goals they concede between the 16th and 30th minute, which account for 27% of all they concede. If Waterford United start at home and get the first goal from a move down the wing, the game is likely to flow toward the hosts, who control the tempo more, and there is a chance they pull away before the second half, while Drogheda United must try to equalise quickly so the game does not slip away.
