Dundalk look to turn up heat on Hoops

With Shamrock Rovers not in action against Sligo Rovers until tomorrow, Dundalk will see their game in hand at home to Derry City tonight as an opportunity to close within a point of leaders.

And the champions’ recent good form suggests they should have every reason to feel confident against the Candystripes who, despite being a respectable fourth in the table, suffered the significant blow of losing at home to Bohemians last time out.
