Dundalk is one of the most titled clubs in Ireland, but it was able to earn only 39 points in 31 rounds of this regular season, took the seventh position in the standings, and was seven points behind the European Cup zone. The Lilywhites gained ten victories and suffered twelve defeats, and nine more matches ended in a draw. The path to the semifinals for Dundalk was as follows: first, it defeated Treaty United (0-1), then hammered St. Mochta’s team (5-1), and then eliminated Finn Harps (3-3 and 1-3).
The teams crossed paths on the pitch of Dundalk two months ago, and the match ended in a loss for the hosts with a score of 1-4. Three months before that, the clubs played in mirror conditions, and the visitors won the victory again, but that time it was Dundalk (0-2). As for the upcoming head-to-head confrontations, I would not recommend betting on the victory of the hosts. Bookmakers greatly underestimate the strength of Dundalk. The Lilywhites have actually the same chances, and it doesn't matter for them whether to play. I will risk betting on the visitors to win with a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: Dundalk to win with 0.0 handicap
