League form: Bohemians WWWWL, St Pat's Ath DWWDW

Match odds: Bohemians 9/5, St Pat's Ath 7/5, Draw 9/4.

Referee: R Winter (Wicklow)

Team news: Bohemians will be hoping that Owen Heary's hamstring has healed enough for him to take the field after the captain was sorely missed in Monday's defeat to UCD.

St Pat's are expected to be without Dave Mulcahy (hamstring), but David and Evan McMillan are back in contention.

Talking point: Bohs' title ambitions fell off a cliff on Monday night in Belfield and they can do similar damage to the Saints this evening.

Pete Mahon's men won here last time out and can go level at the top with a win. Pat Fenlon's side may have their eye on next week's cup semi-final.

Verdict: Away win.
