A win for Bohemians would see them close the gap to the top three, while a defeat could leave their European hopes in jeopardy. Bohemians have won three of their most recent four away trips, scoring 11 times in the process. The match will be a tough test for Alan Reynolds's side, but a win could be a key turning point in their season. Shelbourne's centre-back Odhran Casey has been out of first-team action since February, but is set to return to training soon. The hosts will be keen to avoid dropping more points, having drawn their last match 2-2 against Drogheda. Bohemians will be looking to get back on track after a frustrating spell that has left them a point shy of Dundalk and four behind second-placed St Pat's.
