Drogheda United will travel to Eamonn Deacy Park on Friday night to face Galway United in a crucial bottom-of-the-table clash.
The Drogs currently occupy last place in the league standings, with Galway just one place and one point above them.
Pete Mahon's side are without a win in 12 games, but they will take encouragement from their last performance against Sligo at the Showgrounds. Newcomer Sean Russell scored a goal of the season contender to earn his side a crucial away point.
Galway recorded their first win in seven games when they hosted Limerick last week. A 3-1 earned all three points for Shane Keegan's side.
With both teams rooted to the bottom of the table, a win for either side will be of significant importance. Likewise, a loss for either side will be a devastating blow towards their chances of survival.
