Shamrock Rovers, Recent FormShamrock Rovers manager Stephen Bradley will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Shelbourne. Their share of possession in that meeting was 56%, while racking up 17 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Shelbourne, who had 10 shots on goal with 3 on target.
It's fair to say that Bradley will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 6 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 42 games in a row, and so far this season they have kept 13 clean sheets in their 27 games overall.
They have had an excellent run of form at Tallaght Stadium recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 home games.
Trevor Clarke will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Shamrock Rovers.
Dundalk, Recent FormDundalk will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their home outing against Sligo Rovers. In that game they recorded 61 % of the possession, with 7 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 1 of their 6 shots on goal.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 6 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Dundalk, Patrick Hoban will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Shamrock Rovers who ended up empty-handed, losing 2-0 to Dundalk.
Shamrock have managed to keep a clean sheet against The Lilywhites in each of their previous 3 meetings at Tallaght Stadium. The Lilywhites defence has struggled at Tallaght Stadium, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 6 visits.
Dundalk will be hoping to get at least a point from this game having lost the last 6 times they've visited Shamrock in the league and not won this away fixture at Tallaght Stadium for 6 games in a row.
Aaron Greene will be feeling confident about scoring for Shamrock ahead of this encounter with Dundalk, having netted 4 goals in the past 3 league meetings between these two at Tallaght Stadium.
Dundalk 1 - 0 Shamrock RoversShamrock manager Stephen Bradley has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Neil Farrugia (Hamstring), Lee Grace (Physical discomfort) and Seán Hoare (Knock) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With Robbie Benson (Muscle) and Keith Ward (Knock) both unavailable and John Mountney (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season, Dundalk manager Stephen O'Donnell will be glad to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
