Dundalk and Shamrock Rovers have met many times, and the match where Dundalk won 1-0 at home last May is a good memory for the hosts. But this time the picture is different, because Shamrock Rovers have climbed to the top of the table, and Dundalk themselves lost in their latest match. Dundalk are in a late-season spell of poor results. They have not won any of their last five matches, and their defence has conceded in every game. Shamrock Rovers, meanwhile, have mostly been winning and closed out their latest match with a 4-0 victory, but the visitors' defence has not been tight in every game either, especially early on when they concede often, accounting for as much as 18% of all goals conceded. This game will likely open with Shamrock Rovers having more possession and pushing high, while Dundalk sit back and wait for counter-attacking chances. What to watch is how well Dundalk handle the visitors' early spell. If they can hold it, the game will stretch out and the hosts have a chance to take a better result than before.
