Dundalk – possible starting line-ups:
“The Lilywhites” are remembered as the only Irish club to have played in the Europa League group stage twice. Still, now they have lost a lot, and the decline continues. If the club finished 2023 at the so-called “equator” of the table, in 5th position, then there is a threat of relegation now.
It is reasonable to mention that 23 rounds are behind and the team has managed to win only 4 matches. However, the June battle against Sligo Rovers brought a 1-0 result. That success was followed by 2 defeats, so only 19 points remain.
Drogheda United – possible starting line-ups:
“The Turks” have not impressed for a long time, although they even took the championship title at one time. Speaking about 2023, they finished in a comfortable 7th position.
Now the team is clearly failing. The third and so far last victory was at the beginning of May – by the way, that happened in the game against Dundalk. Taking into account 8 previous rounds, there were 2 draws, including the last match, where the outsider finished the game with the leader, Shelbourne, with a 1-1 draw.
