Dundalk form and stats

Dundalk's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Dundalk, who have the fewest conceded goals (11) in Premier Division, collect 20 points from their 10 away matches. 6 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 2 defeats). Things are running smoothly for Dundalk who hasn't tasted defeat in their last 13 matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Sligo Rovers. A great winning streak in away games for Dundalk as they have managed to win five matches in a row as the visitors. Not since the Sligo Rovers have they travelled home without three points.

Dundalk play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-0 victory visiting Finn Harps. A home win before that, celebrating 4-0 vs Sligo Rovers.

A quick return to home after this game, as Dundalk are hosting Waterford United in the Premier Division only three days away.

Dundalk has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches this season, 17 goals from 10 games. The Dundalk defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (5 goals in 10 games).
