Drogheda United
- Drogheda United have won one of their last five matches, drawn three and lost one (W1, D3, L1).
- They play with a number of players in the middle of the field and usually set up in a back five, looking to cause damage in the counterattack, wing-back and set piece play.
- Mark Doyle has been their most dangerous player this season with nine goals in 26 Premier Division 2026 matches, but Keegan Ancelin has scored twice in the last five and looks to have a better goal-scoring edge right now.
Dundalk
- Dundalk are fourth in the Premier Division 2026 with 37 points from 28 games, which is nine more points than Drogheda who occupy ninth position.
- Ciarán Kilduff has made the Lilywhites a possession-based 4-2-3-1 side since he took charge in November 2024.
Head-to-Head
- Drogheda United are unbeaten in their last five head-to-head games (W2, D3).
- Dundalk have not won any of their last three away games against Drogheda United, which adds real bite to the home side's case.
