After a dramatic 1-0 victory over Longford Town last Friday, Kerry FC head to Oriel Park to face league leaders Dundalk for the last time this season.
Last Time Out:
Dundalk come into this game on the back of a resounding 7-0 win over Treaty United at the Markets Field. Daryl Horgan stole the show with a hat-trick, while Eoin Kenny, Gbemi Arubi, Rohan Vaughan and an own goal from Evan O’Connor completed the scoring.
Kerry FC picked up three points last Friday with a 1-0 victory over Longford Town at Mounthawk Park, thanks to Cian Brosnan’s decisive strike.

Key Players:
Dundalk: Daryl Horgan has made the biggest impact at Dundalk so far, contributing 14 goals and assists combined this season.
Kerry FC: Robbie Cleary has started his spell at Kerry FC really well since joining in July. He has recorded 5 goals and assists in 8 matches. Could he add to that tally against the league leaders this Friday?
Prediction:
This will be one of Kerry’s toughest tests of the season. Dundalk’s attacking depth and league form make them strong favourites, but Kerry will look to frustrate the hosts and build on momentum from last week’s win.
