📰 Team News: Dundalk

Availability isn’t a big problem, with just one fitness concern for the Dundalk gaffer Stephen O'Donnell to contend with due to a largely intact group. John Mountney (Cruciate Ligament Injury) won’t play.

It seems likely that The Lilywhites look set to line up in a 3-4-3 system for this one and select Nathan Sheppard, Mark Connolly, Andrew Boyle, Lewis Macari, Paul Doyle, Robbie Benson, Gregory Sloggett, Darragh Leahy, Daniel Kelly, Patrick Hoban and Steven Bradley.

📋 Team News: Shamrock Rovers

Thanks to a completely healthy squad to pick from, the Shamrock Rovers boss Stephen Bradley does not have any fitness worries at all ahead of this match.

It’s our belief that The Hoops appear most likely to make use of a 3-4-2-1 system, settling for Alan Mannus, Sean Hoare, Roberto Lopes, Sean Kavanagh, Ronan Finn, Richard Towell, Gary O'Neil, Andy Lyons, Daniel Mandroiu, Dylan Watts and Rory Gaffney.

💡 Prediction

We think that Dundalk might well have a job on their hands to put one past this Shamrock Rovers lineup who we think should score one, at least.

We’re therefore tipping a highly competitive game with a 0-1 win for Shamrock Rovers at the end of this game.

Hopefully it’s a good one.
