Match Preview

Dundalk

With the looming threat of relegation for the first time since 2008, Dundalk secured a vital three points on June 13, when Sligo Rovers visited Oriel Park. A moment of brilliance from former Republic of Ireland international Daryl Horgan, coupled with a clean sheet from youngster Sean Molloy, ensured a narrow 1-0 victory for the Lilywhites. This result was their fourth win of the 2024 campaign and provided a much-needed morale boost.

Dundalk’s recent form has shown signs of improvement under new manager Jon Daly, with seven points collected from their last four games. Despite this, the team’s offensive struggles are evident, with only 13 goals scored in 21 league matches – the lowest in the division. Their home form is particularly concerning, with just four goals in 10 matches at Oriel Park. However, they have only suffered two home defeats, indicating resilience in front of their supporters.

Waterford United

After finishing second in the second tier last season and securing promotion, Waterford United have been making significant strides under Keith Long. The Blues have shown they can compete at the top level, sitting in fourth position in the 2024 League of Ireland standings. Their impressive form includes a 4-1 thrashing of Sligo Rovers earlier this month, although they recently fell to league leaders Shelbourne.

Will Jarvis has been a standout player since his move from Hull City, contributing significantly to Waterford’s attacking prowess. However, the real star has been Padraig Amond, who leads the league’s Golden Boot race with 11 goals in 21 matches. His experience and finishing ability have been pivotal for the Blues.

Team News

Dundalk

Dundalk will rely on youngster Sean Molloy in goal following the departure of George Shelvey and a muscle injury to Ross Munro. The Lilywhites have been hit with a major blow in attack, as five-goal striker Jamie Gullan remains sidelined. This has put additional pressure on the likes of Daryl Horgan to deliver in the final third.

Possible starting lineup: Molloy; Bradshaw, Johnson, Davies, Boyle, Muller; Benson, Doyle, Horgan, O’Kane; Elliott.

Waterford United

Waterford United will be without Fleetwood Town loanee Maleace Asamoah, who is out with a fitness issue. Rowan McDonald’s injury against Shelbourne could see Niall O’Keeffe promoted to the starting XI. The Blues are likely to stick with their attacking trio of Amond, Connor Parsons, and Ben McCormack, aiming to bounce back from their recent defeat.

Possible starting lineup: Sargeant; Power, Horton, Radkowski, Leahy; Pattison, O’Keeffe, McMenamy; Parsons, Amond, McCormack.
