This game is likely to come late, with Drogheda United scoring most of their goals in the 61-75 minute period, accounting for 28% of all their goals. Meanwhile, Dundalk often breaks down opponents late in the game, scoring 31% of their goals in the 76-90 minute period. The home team is unbeaten in 4 of their last 5 matches (3 draws, 1 win), but their defense still has vulnerabilities, as they concede 24% of their goals in the 16-30 minute period. The first thing to watch after kickoff is Drogheda United's defensive setup in the first 15 minutes, because if they get through that period, the game could become a tight contest where both teams wait for counter-attacking opportunities.
