Drogheda United
- Drogheda United are 8th in the Premier Division 2026 table with 20 points after 18 games.
- Drogheda United are having their own troubles as they continue to hover around the relegation zone, with Kevin Doherty’s side going through a similar patchy form to Waterford FC’s (W1, D1, L3).
- Doherty has implemented a structured approach for his players, which they can use to their advantage in all three phases of play, especially with a solid back three and high tempo transitions when in possession.
Waterford FC
- Waterford FC are 10th with 10 points after the same 18 games.
- Graham Coughlan’s new Waterford FC side have struggled to get going in his characteristic defensive setup, instead conceding too many easy goals and failing to score enough themselves.
Head-to-Head
Waterford FC will be tough to break down, but they have won two and lost one in the last three head-to-head meetings, while they have failed to win in their last two away trips to Drogheda.
Drogheda United
- Conor Kane and Owen Lambe are in good positions to create and score goals for Drogheda as they provide width and press well as wing-backs in Doherty’s flexible system.
- Mark Doyle is another key threat, scoring seven times in 17 Premier Division 2026 matches and scoring twice in the last five.
Waterford FC
Tom Lonergan can get on a roll in front of goal, as he has been in hot and cold patches this season, scoring seven goals in 16 Premier Division 2026 games and four in the last five.
