Venue: Finn Park.
Bottom-most side Finn Harps will look to end their misery as they will host rivals Shelbourne. It is evident that both teams have not lived up to expectations this season.
The host managed to defeat Slingo Rovers by 3-2 last month. However, they have lost all matches since then. In their most recent outing, Bohemian handed Finn their twentieth defeat of the season.
In that game, Ryan Rainey received a red card in the 74th minute of the game. Therefore, he will not be available for selection in this upcoming fixture. No other team have lost twenty games this season except Finn Harps.
Meanwhile, the visitors have lost their winning momentum as they are winless in their last five league outings. In their last league match, they managed a goalless draw against league leaders Shamrock Rovers.
Manager Damien Duff is full of optimism as the goalless draw against Shamrock helped them regain their confidence, hence we can expect them to dominate against Finn.
