Dundalk, Recent FormIn their last fixture against Bohemian FC, Dundalk managed a 2-0 home victory, so they'll be in confident mood going into this game. In that game they had 51% possession and managed 19 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Bohemian FC who had 13 attempts and 2 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 4 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have been unable to score at home in 5 of their last 6 games.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 home games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win. They've struggled to find their way so far this season, winning just 1 of their 12 league games.
Shelbourne, Recent FormLast time out, Shelbourne left content aftera 1-0 home win against St. Patrick's Athletic They achieved 45% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against St. Patrick's Athletic's tally of 6 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 4 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 5 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, and overall this season they have recorded 6 clean sheets in 13 games.
They have had a good run of form away from home recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 3 wins along the way.
With 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Will Jarvis has given the travelling Shelbourne support something to shout about on the road.
Last time these two teams met in the league it resulted in an unsurprising 2-1 win for Shelbourne.
The Shels will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Dundalk having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 5 meetings.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Shelbourne has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Dundalk in 4 games.
Dundalk manager Noel King has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Mayowa Animasahun (Knock), Robbie Mahon (Knock) and Ciaran McGuckin (Knock) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Shelbourne manager Damien Duff ahead of this clash, with Shane Griffin (Calf) missing out, which gives Duff a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
