Two sides level on points will face off this Friday night as Finn Harps travel to Richmond Park to take on Liam Buckley's St. Patrick's Athletic.
With only goal difference separating the two teams, this tie represents an excellent chance for either side to claim three points and take a big step towards safety.
Both sides sit on 27 points, just two points above Sligo Rovers and Galway United who occupy the two spots below them.
St. Pat's have found some good form as of recently, winning three of their last four. Their last game was away to Sligo Rovers where they left the Showgrounds with a draw.
Finn Harps will be disappointed to have lost to Galway United last time out, their third home defeat in a row.
