In the Saturday kick-off Sligo Rovers will host their fellow Connaught outfit Galway United in a bottom of the table clash.
Galway are rooted to the bottom of the table after losing their last three games on the bounces in what has been a frustrating campaign for the Tribesmen.
Sligo on the other hand are without a win in five league games, but they have managed to pick up three draws.
A win for the Bit O' Red at the Showgrounds will give Gerard Lyttle's men some breathing room from the teams below them. Galway will be desperate for three points to try and move themselves from last position.
