Bohemians are back on home soil after a difficult pair of away fixtures, having taken just one point from their last two games on the road. Since the comprehensive 2-0 win over Sligo Rovers at the start of this month at Dalymount Park thanks to goals from James Clarke and Declan MacDaid, the Gypsies suffered a 2-1 defeat at Cork City despite the fact that Adam McDonnell found the back of the net, before sharing the spoils against second-placed Derry City at Brandywell last time out. Bohs are trailing the top three by just a solitary point and have a game in over them, therefore three points on Friday will help them climb to the second spot. Meanwhile, taking just five points from their last five outings and recording only one win in the period will be a cause of concern for manager Declan Devine.
After suffering back-to-back defeats against Drogheda United and Cork City towards the end of last month, Shamrock have managed to get back to winning ways, taking a maximum of nine points from their last three games against Dundalk, Sligo Rovers and UC Dublin in June. Last time out, the Hoops secured their 12th league-win of the season against rock-bottom side UC Dublin thanks to Harvey O-Brien’s own goal and one goal each from Jack Byrne, Graham Burke and Kieran cruise. The result extended their winning run to three matches, scoring nine goals and conceding none in the period. Meanwhile, Stephen Bradley’s men have the best away-record in the league, having accumulated 21 points from a possible 30 thus far.
Bohemians probable starting lineup: Talbot, Horton, Nowak, Radkowski, Kirk, Buckley, Flores, McDaid, McDonnell, Coote, Akintunde
Shamrock Rovers probable starting lineup: Pohls, Hoare, Lopes, Grace, Farrugia, Poom, O’Neil, Byrne, Kavanagh, Burke, Greene
