Dundalk FC travel west to take on Tribesmen

It’s been a tough season for Dundalk FC both on and off the field as they travel west to face Galway United at Eamon Deacy Park tonight. Kick-off is at 7.45pm.

The Lilywhites have struggled throughout the year and recent form has not been good to them. Last Friday’s 2-0 defeat to Bohemians marked their fifth straight loss in the Premier Division and left them pinned to the bottom of the table.

Jon Daly’s men sit eight points behind Louth rivals Drogheda United in ninth place with just four games remaining and time is running out to mount a late survival push.

Dundalk could very well cause an upset as are playing with nothing to lose and have remained competitive in many matches. Galway United, on the other hand, come into this fixture in strong form.

John Caulfield's side secured a gritty 2-1 away win over Waterford last weekend and showed their resilience after going a goal down early.

Brendan Clarke’s penalty save was vital as second-half goals from Stephen Walsh and Killian Brouder completed the comeback.

The Tribesmen are sitting in fourth in the table and are in the hunt for European football next season.

They have three wins over Dundalk already this year and they will fancy their chances of completing the sweep.

It was in October 2017 when the Lilywhites last secured a win away to Galway, which confirmed Galway’s relegation from the Premier Division.
