The managers K. Long and V. Perth are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Premier Division league table.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Dundalk have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 25-6-8 (win-draw-loss) from 39 matches.
