Shelbourne welcome Dublin rivals Bohemians to Tolka Park for a League of Ireland Premier clash on Friday night.

The hosts will be seeking revenge against the visitors after suffering a 4-3 defeat on home soil in the semi-finals of the Leinster Senior Cup earlier this month.

We say: Shelbourne 2-2 Bohemians

Both sides enter Friday's fixture after claiming maximum points last week and they will fancy their chances of coming away with another positive result at Tolka Park. However, we believe the two teams will cancel each other out this time around in an end-to-end score draw.

Drogheda United will be looking to move away from the League of Ireland Premier danger zone when they travel to basement club University College Dublin on Friday.

While the hosts have lost their last two league games by an aggregate score of 11-0, the visitors are seeking to avoid a fourth consecutive match without a win.

We say: University College Dublin 0-3 Drogheda United

Although UCD are desperate to pick up points in a bid to avoid the drop, Drogheda will be regarded as firm favourites to claim maximum points on Friday and they should have few problems running away with a comfortable victory.
