Dundalk, Recent FormThe Dundalk players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against St. Patrick's Athletic recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. They came away from that fixture with 57% of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 1 on target. By comparison, St. Patrick's Athletic managed 14 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 8 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 10 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have failed to score in their last 3 games, and they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
It's been mixed fortunes for Dundalk at Oriel Park recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 home games.
Waterford, Recent FormWaterford manager Keith Long will need to rebuild confidence in his squad after their heavy 3-0 away defeat by Derry City. In that game they recorded 47 % of the possession, with 6 attempts on goal, 0 on target. Their opponents found the target on 6 of their 12 shots on goal.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 11 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 8 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
They have been enduring a less than rewarding period of form away from home at the moment, during which they have lost 3 and only picked up 2 wins from their last 6 matches.
On an individual basis, Dean McMenamy will be looking to cause Dundalk some problems having scored 3 goals in Waterford's last 6 away games in the league.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 1-0 win for Dundalk.
Dundalk have scored in each of their last 7 games at home in the league against The Blues.
Waterford 3 - 2 DundalkDundalk manager Stephen O'Donnell has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Mayowa Animasahun (Knock), George Shelvey (Knock) and Jamie Walker (Knock) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Waterford manager Keith Long ahead of this clash, with Connor Evans (Concussion) missing out, which gives Long a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
