Saints and Shels headline bumper LOI Friday night
There's a huge round of SSE Airtricity Men's Premier Division action tomorrow night with St. Patrick's Athletic's clash with Shelbourne live on Virgin Media Two.
Bohemians vs. Sligo Rovers
Time: 7:45 PM
Location: Dalymount Park, Dublin
Bohemians will host Sligo Rovers at Dalymount Park. Both teams are aiming to climb the league standings, making this encounter crucial for their campaigns. Bohemians will look to capitalize on their home advantage, while Sligo Rovers seek to secure valuable points on the road. But with both sides sitting in 9th and 10th, it is an early season pressure game for both sides.
Derry City vs. Cork City
Time: 7:45 PM
Location: The Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium, Derry
Derry City welcomes Cork City to the Brandywell. Derry City will look to build from a clean sheet last week in Tallaght but with a new stand opening, they will be hoping for a big win at home to a Cork City who have impressed since coming up through promotion.
Drogheda United vs. Waterford
Time: 7:45 PM
Location: Sullivan & Lambe Park, Drogheda
Drogheda United faces Waterford at Sullivan & Lambe Park. Drogheda United has had a strong start to the season, with midfielder Ryan Brennan emphasizing the team's determination to defy expectations and achieve more after last season's Cup success. Waterford will need to be at their best to challenge Drogheda on their home turf and will need a big result to bounce back from last week's last minute defeat in the RSC to St. Pat's.
Galway United v Shamrock Rovers
Time: 7:45 PM
Location: Eamonn Deacy Park
Galway United hosts Shamrock Rovers at Eamonn Deacy Park. Historically, Shamrock Rovers have dominated this fixture, with 31 wins compared to Galway's single victory. However, Galway United will be motivated to improve their record and challenge the visitors. Shamrock Rovers may have to contend with key absences, including Ed McGinty (suspension), Adam Matthews (knee injury), and Daniel Mandroiu (hamstring strain), potentially impacting their performance.
St. Patrick's Athletic v Shelbourne
Time: 7:45 PM
Location: Richmond Park
Saints and Shels clash live on Virgin Media Two in a huge game as the two sides meet for the first time since last year's 3-2 thriller in Tolka. St. Pat's go into the game on top of the League one point clear of Shels and both sides won last week 2-1 away from home. Sean Boyd is suspended and Aidan Keena is a doubt so both teams have their challenges ahead of a critical game.
