Bohemians Preview

Bohemians Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Chorążka; Morahan, Cornwall, Grehan, Flores; McDonnell, Devoy; Rooney, Clarke, Tierney; Whelan

Bohemians come into this match on the back of a 1-0 away win at Sligo Rovers, secured by an 88th-minute goal from Mousset. The victory means Bohemians are now just two points behind league leaders Shamrock Rovers after 15 games.

Midfielder Ross Tierney has been one of the standout performers this season, netting four goals from a deeper role. However, despite his contributions, Bohemians have struggled for goals overall, managing only 19 in the league so far.

Shelbourne Preview

Shelbourne Predicted Lineup (4-1-4-1): Kearns; Coyle, Bone, Ledwidge; Wilson, Mcinroy, Lunney, Caffrey; Martin, Odubeko, Wood

Despite a poor run of form, Shelbourne managed to secure a win in their last outing, with McInroy netting in the 90th minute to seal a 2-1 home victory. Before then, they had won just once in their last six.

However, Shelbourne have only managed two wins on the road this season, scoring just eight goals in those matches. As a result, Friday night’s encounter could prove to be a tough test for them.
