Shamrock Rovers have a chance to return to the top of the Premier Division table tonight when they host relegation contenders Drogheda United at Tallaght Stadium in both sides first competitive game in 3 weeks. It’s been a thrilling 3-way title race in the Irish Premier Division. Rovers currently sit in 3rd, level on points with 2nd place Bohemians and 1st place St Patricks Athletic, but tonight’s game in hand offers the champions a chance to go 3 points clear at the summit with 4 games remaining. A win here is especially important for Stephen Bradley’s men considering the fact they host title rivals Bohs on Monday night. For Drogheda, they sit in the relegation playoff position in 9th after losing 2-1 to title chasing Bohs last time out in the league. They did play a friendly game against sister club Trabzpnspor in Türkiye last week, a game which they earned a shock 1-0 win in against Mo Salah’s side. Drogheda are behind Waterford on goal difference, the team Rovers beat last time out. After 0 wins in 7 in all competitions, Rovers came from behind twice to win 3-2, but long-serving manager Stephen Bradley’s recent flirtations with the Hiberian job in Scotland have only caused more uncertainty at the club. The sides have met 3 times in the league this season. Shamrock Rovers won 4-1 in the first home fixture either side of 2 goalless draws in Louth in March and July. In terms of team news, Danny Grant remains doubtful for Shamrock Rovers while Danny Mandroiu. Drogheda have Kevin Doherty suspended with Alfie Bates, Ethan O’Brien and Keegan Ancelin are all doubts.
