Finn Harps Dundalk betting prediction

The home team is currently in the 9^th position of the league, with 10 points won, after 2 wins, 4 draws and 10 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against UCD, by (0‑1). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Drogheda United, by (3‑1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since they have won 5 points in away matches, with 8 goals scored and 16 conceded, against 5 points won at their stadium, with 5 goals scored and 12 conceded. For the league, Finn Harps won 5 points out of 24 possible points, after 1 win, 2 draws and 5 losses in the last 8 home matches. In their home league matches there are a few frequent results at half‑time: 0‑0 (4 out of 8 matches) and 0‑1 (3 out of 8 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. 5 of their last 8 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals, so there is a tendency for few goals in their home matches. They haven't been able to score the first goal. In fact, they have only opened up the score in 4 of the last 16 matches for the Premier Division, they have reached half‑time in advantage in 2 of those 4 matches and have held on to the lead in 2. They have conceded the first goal in 11 of their 16 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 9 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 6 of their 12 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Finn Harps comes to this game with a 3-1 defeat at Drogheda, thus registering the third consecutive loss in this competition. In this home game, coach Ollie Horgan should play in the usual tactical formation, the 5-4-1, favoring the mid-low block and counterattacks, especially through the right flank: Ryan Rainey offers great depth to the team. Central defender Conor Tourish is the highlight of this team, with 3 goals scored. Out of this game is Bastien Héry due to suspension.

Confirmed Lineup: Mark McGinley, Rob Slevin, Ethan Boyle, Regan Donelon, Ryan Rainey, Ryan Connelly, Mark Timlin, Conor Tourish, Eric McWoods, Jesse Devers, Yousef Mahdy.
Coach: D. Murphy.
