We said: Drogheda United 1-2 Shamrock Rovers

 Shamrock Rovers travel on Friday with a lack of momentum given their recent slump and extensive selection concerns, particularly in defence, but they do still possess the quality to get past Drogheda United if Stephen Bradley's side are able to kick back into gear, and we fancy them to make a crucial return to winning ways at United Park.
