Bohemians and Sligo Rovers come together on Friday at Dalymount Park with both sides hoping to take all three points as they look to make a push towards the top three in the League of Ireland Premier.
The hosts sit in eighth but with at least two games in hand on all but one team in the division, while the visitors sit in sixth and six points behind third-placed Waterford United.
We say: Bohemians 1-2 Sligo Rovers
Bohemians may hold the home advantage in this match but they have struggled for form of late with just one victory in their last 10, while the visitors come into this one on the back of consecutive impressive victories, leading us to believe the visitors will walk away with all three points.

The bottom two in the League of Ireland Premier Division will lock horns on Friday evening, as Dundalk welcome Drogheda United to Oriel Park.
Dundalk are currently ninth in the table, boasting 19 points from their 23 league matches this season, while Drogheda are 10th, picking up 17 points from their 23 games this term.
We say: Dundalk 2-1 Drogheda United
Dundalk have had a very disappointing campaign, but Drogheda are really struggling, and their defensive record is a concern. We are expecting this to be a tight match, but Dundalk should have enough quality to collect all three points on Friday night.

Galway United and Waterford United come together at Eamonn Deacy Park on Friday in a potentially crucial game in the battle for the top three spots in the League of Ireland Premier.
The visitors are currently in third place with just a three-point lead over the chasing pack, while the hosts could narrow the gap to the top three to only three points with a victory in this match.
We say: Galway United 0-1 Waterford United
While Galway United have been vastly improved at home in recent weeks and are one of the hardest sides to score against in the division, Waterford United come into this game in a great vein of form and are the second-best side away from home this season, leading us to believe the visitors will secure the victory.
