In the match of the 19th round of the Irish championship, Drogheda United will take on Finn Harps. Which of the fighters for the European Cup will be stronger?
Drogheda United"
For the past three rounds, Drogheda United cannot win. The negative streak began with a defeat from Bohemians (0-5), lasted with a loss from Dundalk (0-1), and reached the mark of three games without a win after a draw with Shamrock Rovers (1-1). Drogheda United won an extreme victory in the 15th round, in which they were able to defeat Sligo Rovers (1-2) on a visit.
"Finn Harps"
Finn Harps is in the eighth position and has 20 points, but if they win, they will reduce the gap from Drogheda to three points and get closer to the European Cup zone by four points. Now "Finn Harps" borders on the zone of transitional fights, from which it broke away by seven points. Despite the fact that "Finn Harps" regularly scores, victories are obtained with difficulty - there was only one in the last six rounds (over Waterford United with a score of 2-1).
Statistics and figures:
- Drogheda United have won one of their last five matches;
- "Finn Harps" five rounds without a win;
- In the first round match, Drogheda United and Finn Harps parted in peace-1: 1.
Forecast
Both teams have been looking very modest lately, going without victories. In the reported confrontation, each of the parties will try to break the negative streak and return to the winning path. I think that the meeting will be productive, so I suggest putting more than 2 on the total.
