LiontipsBray Wanderers vs Drogheda United. Prediction and bets on the Irish Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
Bray Wanderers were far from the best club in the First Division this season. The team took only fifth place out of ten, that is, only in the middle of the standings. Nevertheless, this was enough to get into the playoffs, where the nominal hosts have already shown themselves in all their glory. Here they managed to beat first UCD (2:0, 0:1), and then Athlone in a penalty shootout. Now the "tramps" will try to beat the penultimate team in the Premier League and get into the top division.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with their lineup before this match.
Interesting trends for betting
- In the last seven matches, the team has won only one victory in regular time
- The club has lost its last four head-to-head matches
Probable line-up: Corcoran - Almiral, Cantwell, Duggan, Griffin, Groom, Magherushan, O'Reilly-O'Sullivan, Omorehiomwan, Osam, Craven
Current form
Drogheda United failed to perform in the Irish Championship, finishing second to last and ending up in the play-offs. However, the team achieved great success in the country cup, taking the trophy after a recent victory over Derry City (2:0) in the final match. If the visitors manage to beat their opponent in the play-offs, then the season can even be considered quite successful, because next season the club will play in European cups, which will bring a good replenishment to the budget.
Disqualifications and injuries
Steve Bawa will miss the match due to injury, while Jetren Barr is questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has won only one of its last five matches.
- The visitors managed to keep a clean sheet in the last two matches
Probable lineup: Dennison - Webster, Quinn, Bolger, Bosakani - Brennan, Kane, Farrell, Markey - James-Taylor, Pierrot

1.67Tip and bets
We believe that Drogheda United will remain in the Premier League. The visitors are currently on an emotional high after winning the cup, and Bray Wanderers are hardly a worthy opponent. After all, the team finished the season only in fifth place in the First Division and with great difficulty got through the playoffs. We do not think that the hosts are now capable of beating the winner of the Irish Cup.
Our prediction is Drogheda United to win at 1.62
Bet on total
This match will decide the fate of a place in the Premier League, so the teams will obviously act cautiously, keeping an eye on their own goal. Four of the last five matches of the visitors ended with a total under, it is unlikely that we will expect a different result now.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.80
Bet on the first half
The hosts usually play rather poorly in the first half. The visitors are superior to their opponents in class and will probably be able to take the lead in the first half. Let bet on the favorites going into the break leading in the score.
Our prediction is a first half win for Drogheda United at 2.20
