Dundalk

LDLLDW

Dundalk will come into the match after a 1-0 First Division win versus Athlone in their most recent game.

The only scorer from Dundalk was Vinnie Leonard (36').

The strike force from Dundalk have made hard work of scoring goals over their last six encounters, recording the disappointing return of only 2. In those fixtures, The Lilywhites have also seen the overall goal aggregate of their opponents equal 6. That pattern might not be continued into this match, however.

🤜🤛 Head to head

🧠 Prediction

We think that Finn Harps could find themselves up against it to score goals against this Dundalk team who we think might score at least once to put them ahead.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a 0-1 victory for Dundalk at the end of this one.

Hopefully it’s a good one.
