Short preview: Shelbourne vs. Dundalk — 03/07/26

Shelbourne play at home at Tolka Park this Friday to host Dundalk. In a team situation that still cannot find consistency. The home team made a splash on June 12 with a 2-1 win over Shamrock Rovers, but things have not improved under interim boss Lorcan Fitzgerald — they've won just one of their last six league games and their hopes of qualifying for Europe have clearly diminished. On 22 June, Shelbourne lost 0-3 at home to Bohemians and their defensive performance was a major concern. They recently drew 2-2 with Sligo Rovers and have conceded seven goals in their last three league games. The Dundalk side had just shocked their fans with a 3-2 home loss to Waterford, which immediately cut off any chance of climbing up European places. But before that, they won three more league games and are unbeaten in five of their last six. Their last defeat before that came on 8 May, losing 1-3 to Bohemians. Dundalk were outstanding in attack and were often high scorers. They have only two clean sheets since the start of April. Recent head-to-head statistics have also supported the offense — the last three games between the two teams have combined for 11 goals, making the possibility of both sides scoring in both halves weighing heavily.
