Our prediction is: Dundalk win or draw

Dundalk has been a thorn in the side of many teams of late, and even away from home, they are quite a dangerous opponent for anyone. So as they travel to face Drogheda United, our betting tip is Dundalk win or draw on the Double Chance market, which means they can either win or draw for the bet to win.

It would honestly not be that big of a surprise if Dundalk emerged victorious against Drogheda United given the quality they've shown, but claiming a point is a much more realistic goal.

Our prediction is: under 9.5 corners

After analysing the odds in the different markets, our best betting tip for this match is on the corners market and taking the total to go under 9.5 corners.

We anticipate Drogheda United vs Dundalk to be quite a controlled match with the main action concentrated in the middle of the pitch. That should limit the number of opportunities for corners, and so the odds of 2.06 for 9 corners or fewer looks quite attractive.
