Only three wins for Dundalk till now, since last season guests in crisis of results with fans that protesting against American ownership.

Apart last on table Finn and Longford Dundalk has the worst defense of league and ( including the two bottom table teams) the second worst one far from home.

After the win against strong Shamrock they returned in poor level, trashed 5-1 away by Bohemians in last round.

Dundalk played in ten men since 74° minute ( but also Bhos received a red card at 52° minute), so today key def. Dummigan ( 10) is suspended. With Cleary ( def. 10) already out will be a new reshufflement in defense, with also captain Gartland ( def. 1+1) and Nattestad ( def.2) unavailable as Midtskogen ( att.4+5). Hoban ( att.6 2g) could return after more then one month out but at the moment remain doubtful.

St. Patrick's is the best home team ( 5-0-1 11/4), third on table but in last four gained only one win and one draw. It is to consider that the two defeats in this period arrived away against Drogheda only at 88° minutes and only home defeat against Shamrock and only in injury time.

Hosts remain wth only two defeats in 17 rounds and today Burns ( midf.3+3 2g) and McClelland ( midf.2+4) doubtful are the only possible misses.
