Shelbourne

Shelbourne sits atop the Premier Division standings. Managed by former Chelsea footballer Damien Duff, the team has accumulated 37 points from 20 matches: 10 wins, 7 draws, and only 3 losses. They lead Derry City, who are in second place, by 2 points with a game in hand. This is a remarkable achievement for a club that last won the Irish championship in 2006 and was in the second division just three years ago.

In the previous round, the "Reds" unexpectedly lost at home to Sligo Rovers 1-2, ending their 9-match unbeaten streak. Prior to this, Shelbourne secured an away victory over Shamrock Rovers, winning 2-0.

Dundalk

Dundalk is facing a completely different challenge this season. Surprisingly, they are fighting for survival in the top tier of Irish football. Currently, Dundalk is in ninth place, which would place them in the relegation playoff at the season's end. They are only 1 point ahead of last-placed Drogheda United and trail the 8th position by a significant 7 points.

In the previous round, Dundalk achieved a crucial away victory over direct competitor St. Patrick's Athletic, winning 3-2. They scored 3 goals by the 22nd minute, but conceded twice before halftime, with no goals scored in the second half. Before that, Dundalk played to a 0-0 draw against Derry City.
