Stephen Kenny's St Pat’s side are playing their first home game of the season and will be keen to mark the occasion with a strong performance.
The last three league meetings between the sides ended in a win, a draw, and a loss back in 2024.
Both sides played out a scoreless draw at Oriel Park in April before the Lilywhites pulled off a 3-2 away victory in June, followed by a home 2-1 loss in September.
In team news: Dundalk defender Vinnie Leonard is suspended, while Mayowa Animasahun will be assessed ahead of kick-off.
Leo Gaxha remains out, while Norman Garbett and Luke Mulligan are also unavailable through injury. The rest of the squad is fit.
Speaking ahead of the game, Dundalk manager Ciarán Kilduff said, “We’re really looking forward to the match tomorrow night. It’s our third game in the week, so it’s another massive challenge for us.
“It’s St Pat’s first home game of the season, so it should be a great occasion, and we know Stephen will have them very well set up.
“We take a lot of confidence from the performances we’ve produced so far. A lot of lads will feel they’ve given a very good account of themselves in the opening three matches.
“We were hurt in our first two games by conceding late goals, but we’ve stayed honest in how we play, and we try to attack in every game.
“We got our reward for this approach against Shamrock Rovers despite being down to ten men. There’s a very positive atmosphere in the squad.
“Now we have to make sure we’re ready to go again and produce the same level tomorrow night. It should be a great match.”
Lucas Keating has been appointed as referee and will be assisted by Robert Clarke and Fintan Butler, with Marc Lynch named as the fourth official.
