Shamrock Rovers host bottom side St. Patrick's Athletic in the only 8:00pm kick-off this Friday night.
After being thrashed 4-1 by leaders Cork City at Turners Cross last week, Shamrock Rovers responded well by beating Bray Wanderers 2-0 at Tallaght Stadium.
It was the South Dublin teams fourth win in six games as they look to keep in touch with the chasing pack.
St. Pat's currently sit last in the league standings, and they will be desperate to bring at least one point back to Inchicore.
They will be up against it, however. Liam Buckley's side come in to this fixture off the back of two loses in succession, and they have only won one game in their last ten.
