Dundalk are the undisputed leaders of the Irish First Division and are in phenomenal form. They have won 5 league games in a row, scoring an average of over 4 goals per game, including 7-0 and 6-1 thrashings. Their attack looks extremely formidable, and the home walls add confidence. With such an advantage in the table (8 points) the motivation remains.
Kerry are at the bottom of the table and are fighting for survival. Despite recent victories, the team has mostly lost to strong opponents, especially on the road. Their defense is vulnerable (43 conceded in 27 games), which will probably be a critical factor against the league leaders.
