Limerick take on the visitors Dundalk at the Markets Field in the quarter-finals fixture of the FAI Cup. The match will be played in the eponymous city Limerick on Friday, September 7th.
Limerick were not able to score against Dundalk in their last eight matches between them conceding 25 goals. The teams have already faced each other twice in the League of Ireland Premier Division this season and the hosting side has been able to score five goals overall. The Super Blues have a terrible defense and often concede a lot of goals even in front of their home crowd. Quite frankly, the team of Tommy Barrett has no chances for the upcoming fixture. Their main goal is to save themselves in the league so they will probably save their energy for the other matches. They will not even try to beat Dundalk in the upcoming fixture. In their last three matches Limerick lost to Dundalk with a 0-1 score, beat Cabinteely with a 2-1 score and lost to Sligo Rovers with a 1-3 score.

Dundalk have an amazing offensive line, they score two and a half goals a match on average. They often make the result in the first half of their matches. The Lilywhites rarely score less than two goals in their fixtures, they have done that only four times this season. Furthermore, that happened mostly in the start of the new season. Even though the team of Stephen Kenny has been struggling on the international scene they have had no real competition in their local league lately except for Cork City who have been playing bad lately. In their last three matches Dundalk beat Limerick with a 1-0 score, lost to Shamrock Rovers with a 1-2 score and beat Finn Harps with a 2-0 score.
The upcoming fixture is the FAI Cup one and the away side has set the goal to win both their local league and their local cup. Dundalk will have all the tools to do that even if they use their reserve players in the match. In their previous fixtures in the FAI Cup the Lilywhites didn`t have any problems and beat their opponents with 2-0 and 3-0 scores. It is likely that the team of Stephen Kelly will score at least twice in the upcoming fixture.
Prediction for the match: Dundalk to win with -2.0 handicap.
