All the three matches already played in the season among these two teams ended with at least three goals scored, with one home win for Dundalk ( 2-1) and two ones for Shamrock ( 2-1; 3-1).

Both teams arrive at this final clash amongst them with a lot to play for: with one match more to play and nine points of advanatge on second on table St.Pats Shamrock can makie a big step on title, while Dundalk, in spite of the good moment in Cup and with three matches without defeats in championship, remain in race to avoid relegation playoff.

To an already quite long list of absentees - co second scorer McMillan 8 4g), MacEneley ( midf. 16+4 2g), Zahibo ( midf.6+6), Gartland ( att.1) - and with Patching ( midf.9+1) doubtful, hots loose for International duties key def. Jurkovskis ( 23+3) and def. Nattestadt ( 8+2), while for the same reason key def. Lopes ( 20+2 1g) is unavailable for Shamrock.

Dundalk never gained a clean sheet in last nine ( and only four ones in whole season), strong defence for Shamrock, but today a little reshuffled and against an opponent that must play to win taking advantage to improving performances shown lately.
