Drogheda United VS Finn Harps

Drogheda host Finn Harps for this Ireland Premier Division round 16 clash at Head in the Game Park early Saturday Beijing time. This is a relatively low-level league by betting standards but betting-wise it is an interesting one and we have done well betting on Irish football before! Most teams in this league capable of pretty organized and well-structured football and fighting hard is an integral part of Irish football. Both Drogheda United and Finn Harps and are quite of form teams. Both have also had a somewhat disappointing season so far and the hosts currently occupy the 9th place in this league with 13 points in the bank and a goal difference of 12:25. They have lost four of their most recent matches and played one draw. I cannot understand why the betting market sees this as almost a 5-50% match– even at Drogheda’s stadium… They do not have a particularly good home crowd and the fans have been very disappointed on their mostly horrible performances. The chance of the visitors avoiding defeat is 73% here.

In their most recent match lost to newly promoted Shelbourne 0-1 away from home and recorded just two scoring attempts and failed to manage a single shot on target. They can improve a little, surely, but quite honestly, they lack class in all areas of the game. Even a clearly better performance here does not guarantee a win as the host are definitely better by raw class and have much more potential overall then the hosts. The were weak in their most recent match against UC Dublin and lost 0-1 at home. The betting market has reacted strongly to this result. It was just one game though and they must be irritated and motivated here. Some three weeks ago they played well to beat Shelbourne 1-0 at home. They have had chances to take points in many of they matches they have lost,
