With the league title seemingly wrapped up barring a drastic turn of events, Dundalk will be hoping to bounce bap from their recent blip to cement their position as runners-up.
The Lilywhites have just one points from their last two games having been beaten by Shamrock Rovers at Oriel Park and then held to a 1-1 draw with Sligo Rovers at the Showgrounds.
They come up against a Limerick side without a win in three fixtures. The Super Blues have Finn Harps and St. Patrick's Athletic hot on their tails, and a defeat on Friday night could see them in the bottom half of the table if results elsewhere don't go their way.
Recent history of this fixture hasn't been kind to the Munster outfit, with Dundalk winning four of the last five outings between the sides.
