Dundalk to grab the win
Dundalk have dominated Shelbourne in recent years, they have no losses in the last 13 encounters between these sides; as a matter of fact, Dundalk won 12 of those 13 clashes, with one draw. Looking at both teams' recent form, Dundalk have looked the better side; they have won their last six, and eight of their last nine games, with no losses in those nine games. On the other hand, Shelbourne have lost their last two games; they've suffered five losses in their last nine games. Considering both teams' recent form, coupled with their head to head records, we're predicting a win for Dundalk.
Both teams will not score
Dundalk have had one of the best defences in the Premier Division this campaign; they've allowed 14 goals in 19 games, only league leaders Shamrock have conceded fewer goals this season. It's worth noting that Dundalk kept three clean sheets in their last four games; they conceded just once in that four game stretch. In the same vein, Shelbourne did not score in their last two games; their games usually don't feature goals at both ends. At least one side failed to score in four of Shelbourne's last five, and three of Dundalk's last four games; for these reasons, we believe that one of these teams will keep a clean sheet.
