While one of the Tuesday night fixtures features two teams who advanced in the FAI Cup, the second fixture sees two sides who were knocked out as Sligo Rovers host Bray Wanderers.
Sligo Rovers will be disappointed after their cup dream came to an end when they lost out 4-2 to Longford Town after extra-time. Bray had a much more difficult task when they hosted Cork City, with the Leesiders running out 1-0 victors.
Neither teams league form leaves much to be desired with both sides are without a win in five. The Bit O'Red have claimed four draws on the trot while their Tuesday night rivals have suffered four defeats.
Both Gerard Lyttle and Harry Kenny will be desperate to claim all three points. The Seagulls could risk falling further behind the chasing pack, and defeat for Sligo would severely damage their fight for survival.
