One of the most intense rivalry's in Irish football takes place this Friday when Shamrock Rovers host Bohemians at Tallaght Stadium in the late kick-off at 8:00pm.
Rovers will be buoyed by their recent result against Dundalk when they travelled to Oriel Park and came home with all three points thanks to a 1-0 win. It was a result Stephen Bradley was no doubt delighted with following their exit from the Europa League three days previous.
Bohemians come in to this Dublin derby after three defeats in a row. The Gypsies are seventh, but a defeat to their bitter rivals and results elsewhere could have them flirting with the bottom three, albeit with a game in hand.
The Hoops have come out on top in this feisty affair in recent times, with the Tallaght outfit winning three of the last three games including a 3-1 league cup victory back in April.
