St Pat's boss Liam Buckley has challenged his players to get back to winning ways in the "intimidating" surrounds of Finn Park on Monday night [8.0pm].
The Saints travel north in their rearranged SSE Airtricity League Premier Division tie with Finn Harps in Finn Park fresh from a 1-1 stalemate at home to Sligo Rovers in which goalkeeper Brendan Clarke was the star of the show.
That came on the back of a disappointing 4-0 defeat to Dundalk, and Buckley wants a response.
"It was important that we didn't lose our next game after the Dundalk match," he said. "I was disappointed that we didn't push on after Christy got the equalising goal on Friday, I thought we could have gone on to win the game. But having said that, Sligo played very well and deserved something out of the game."
The clash was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch, and ewly-promoted Harps now meet Pat's for the first time in the league since 2008.
While the Inchicore club have seen much more success in the intervening period, Buckley has warned the Donegal men are a tough prospect away from home.
"It's always an intimidating place to go to, they're very strong at home. Ollie Horgan has done a great job up there since their promotion last year. They have a good mix of local and experienced players in the squad, and they'll be up for this.
"They're also in good form after beating Longford over the weekend, so it'll be a tough one for us, but we'd be hoping to pick up three points and kick off from there."
The Saints have almost a full squad to choose from, with only goalkeeper Conor O'Malley out with an ankle injury.
