Dundalk vs Longford Predictions

• Longford Town have picked up just two points from their seven away trips this term.
• Dundalk have conceded in all of their seven home games this season but have managed to win two of their last four.

Hosts an attractive bet to win and concede

Struggling Dundalk could only manage a 2-2 draw against whipping boys Longford Town in last month’s reverse fixture, but the Lilywhites are tipped to register all three points on home turf this Friday, with both teams also fancied to hit the scoresheet.

The 2019 champions are toiling in eighth coming into this and turned in a woeful display here at Oriel Park last Friday, losing 1-3 to second bottom Waterford.

But there have been better signs from Dundalk overall throughout the last month or so, and prior to their embarrassment last time out they managed two wins from three overall and two victories from three starts at home.

With Longford Town picking up just two points from their seven away outings this term and already looking destined for an immediate return to the second tier, Dundalk can land a confidence boosting success.

Odds of 2/7 make zero appeal, but a wager on the hosts to win and both teams to score is a far more attractive proposition. Dundalk have conceded in all of their seven home games this season, so while Longford have only struck in seven of their 15 matches, we can be fairly confident that we’ll see goals at both ends and 2-1 is our correct score prediction.
