Bohemians will look to build on their excellent recent league form when they host Bray Wanderers at Dalymount Park this evening.
The Gyspies have taken three wins from the last four matches and are just four points behind arch-rivals Shamrock Rovers.
Bohs will not take Pat Devlin’s side for granted as Wanderers have proven their durability this season but Bray will be looking to end a five game winless streak.
David Scully is suspended for Bohs while new signing Ken Carr is set to join the squad for the first time following his arrival from Lissadel United.
Kieran Marty Waters and John Mulroy are both out for Bray through suspension who are hoping to build on a six-point advantage over bottom side UCD.
Bray’s recent signings include Paddy Seery and Lee Dixon from Bohemians and they may feature.
Bohemians manager Aaron Callaghan: “I saw them last week against Bradford and they put on a good performance for the first half. Bray are always a difficult side to play against, always well organised.
“There’s more belief in the squad and there’s a bit of competition for places which also helps people to focus more and to keep up their performance levels.
Bray's Director of Football Pat Devlin said: "It was good to get the point in Tallaght and the performance was good, and I'm hoping we can continue that against Bohemians who have had a great season so far.”
