Dundalk Vs Shelbourne Starting Lineups and Match Preview

Dundalk will face Shelbourne in the Premier Division of Ireland on August 30, with kick-off scheduled for 19:45 Ireland local time.

Dundalk (also known as Dundalk FC) and Shelbourne (commonly referred to as Shelbourne FC) meet again three months after their previous encounter, which saw Shelbourne secure a 1-0 victory. Dundalk will be looking to bounce back after their recent 1-1 draw against Derry City on August 9. This match presents a significant opportunity for Dundalk to improve their form, especially if they can address their ongoing defensive issues, as they have conceded goals in seven consecutive matches.

Shelbourne, on the other hand, will enter the match following a 1-1 draw against Bohemians last Friday, extending their unbeaten streak to two matches.
