Dundalk, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Dundalk players having failed to take any points away from their recent 3-2 away defeat at the hands of Bohemian FC. They came away from that fixture with 42% of the possession and clocked up 4 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Bohemian FC managed 14 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
Their boss Stephen O'Donnell has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 13 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 7 goals conceded across those matches. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they have scored in 11 of their 12 home games this season.
They have been performing well at Oriel Park recently and are unbeaten in their last 7 home games.
Patrick Hoban will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at Oriel Park, having notched up 7 goals for Dundalk in their last 6 league matches at home.
Shelbourne, Recent FormShelbourne will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-0 win in their away outing against Cork City. Their share of possession in that meeting was 56%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Cork City had 7 shots on goal with 1 on target.
Damien Duff will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 9 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 4 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and playing away from home, they're currenlty on a run of 2 clean sheets in a row.
Shelbourne will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
Away from home in the league, Jack Moylan has given the Shelbourne travelling fans plenty to get excited about, with 4 goals from their last 6 games on the road.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw.
Playing away from home, Shelbourne have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Dundalk.
Shelbourne will be wondering what they have to do to get all 3 points in this fixure, having failed to win any of their last 11 league meetings with Dundalk.
Dundalk manager Stephen O'Donnell has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Robbie Benson (Muscle), Andy Boyle (Hamstring), Cameron Elliott (Calf), Robbie McCourt (Groin) and John Mountney (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Damien Duff has a number of injury concerns in his Shelbourne squad to contend with: Paddy Barrett (Muscle), Shane Griffin (Calf), Brian McManus (Knee surgery) and Matty Smith (Muscle)
