Still under the guidance of interim boss Lorcan Fitzgerald, they have claimed just a sole win from any of their previous six straight Premier Division appearances and they have watched their European dreams take a major dent. Likewise, drastically struggling to find any kind of stability this season, Shelbourne have also registered back-to-back wins on just a single occasion this year. Coming under even more scrutiny on June 22nd as they slumped to a 3-0 drumming at home against Bohemains, Friday’s hosts have also shown some rather glaring defensive issues. Last seen playing out a lively 2-2 stalemate against Sligo Rovers, the Shels have shipped seven goals in just their previous three Premier Division matchups.As for the visitors, watching their extended purple patch come to a dramatic end last time out, Dundalk will be desperately searching for an immediate response here. Eventually falling to a thrilling 3-2 loss at home against Waterford, Ciaran Kilduff’s men missed out on the opportunity to skyrocket their way into the European spots. Nevertheless, winning each of their other three Premier Division showdowns and with their sights now fully fixed on clinching at least a bronze medal finish, Dundalk have also lost just one of their last six outings. With that run stemming back to a 3-1 defeat against Bohemians on May 8th, Friday’s guests have also gained a reputation for their lively affairs. Alongside seeing their back-to-back Premier Division matchups produce eight goals at both ends of the pitch, Kilduff’s camp have also recorded just a pair of clean sheets since the start of April. It should also be noted, the last three battles between Friday’s opponents have seen 11 goals.Bet: Goal to be scored in both halves at Shelbourne vs Dundalk 7/10 for Friday’s Irish Premier Division matchup 1xBetThe post Bitesize Prediction: Shelbourne vs Dundalk – 03/07/26 appeared first on SoccerNews.
