Team Form

Drogheda Town come into this match with a mixed but decent home record over their last five outings: D, W, D, W, L. Their most recent result was a 1–1 draw against Trinity Donaghmede on October 1. Before that, they recorded a convincing 4–1 win over Greystones AFC. Across these five matches, Drogheda Town scored 10 goals and conceded 8, showing attacking potential but some defensive vulnerability.

Leicester Celtic's recent away form (L, L, W, W, W) paints an inconsistent picture. The two defeats came in the FAI Cup against higher-league opponents Baldoyle United (2–0) and Cork City (3–0). Their three wins were in cup competitions, including a 2–1 victory at Fanad Utd and a 4–1 win at Dundrum. It is worth noting that these wins were against lower-league or cup opponents, which may not fully reflect their league competitiveness.
