Bohemians suffered their seventh league-defeat of the season against Sligo Rovers last time out despite the fact that Jonathan Afolabi got on the scoresheet. The result extended their winless run to four games, losing two matches in the process. With just one win coming from their last nine games in the top flight, the Gypsies have dropped to the fifth position, currently trailing the top two by seven points, but have two games in hand over the four teams above them. Bohs have won the Irish top flight title on 11 previous occasions, with their latest triumph coming in 2009, but they finished at the sixth position last term.
Dundalk, on the other hand, secured an impressive victory over leaders Shamrock Rovers last time out thanks to two late goals from Louie Annesley and Patrick Hoban. The result extended their unbeaten run to five games, winning four matches and scoring 11 goals in the period. The impressive run of form has helped Lilywhites to close the gap on top two to just three points. Although Declan Devine’s men have been pretty good at home, taking 17 points from ten home league games this term, they have a mixed record on their travels, recording five wins, two draws and five defeats from 12 top flight matches on the road.
Bohemians probable starting lineup: Talbot, Horton, Nowak, Radkowski, Kirk, McDonnell, Flores, Connolly, Clarke, Twardek, Afolabi
Dundalk probable starting lineup: Shepperd, Davies, Muller, Annesley, Leahy, McCourt, Sloggett, Malley, Kelly, Hoban, Yli-Kokko
