Team News

Keith Long has a completely full squad to pick from here.

Key Man

Striker Dinny Corcoran- when fit- has been fantastic in front of goal this term for Bohemians.  The 28 year old has five goals in just six appearances, showing that he is capable of making an impact whenever available.  This is his third spell at the club, and he is doing his absolute best to ensure that it's his best-ever one to date.  He's only recently come back from injury, so the hopes of Bohemians is that he will get back to firing and pull them away from relegation trouble.

Team Form

Bohemians have two wins and three losses in their last five matches.  They lost 2-0 away to Dundalk before winning by the same score at home against Finn Harps. That score popped back up again for them in losses to Derry City (away) and Shamrock (home).  On Friday, they won 1-2 away to Bray Wanderers.  

Expected Line-up: 4-2-3-1

Bohemians likely XI

  • Goalkeeper:Suppie

  • Defenders:Pender, Cornwall, Byrne, Fitzgerald

  • Midfielders:Morris, Sule

  • Attacking Midfielders:Simon, Brennan, Kavanagh

  • Forwards:Corcoran

Team News

Martin Russell will welcome right back Shaun Kelly back into the side after serving a suspension.

Key Man

Journeyman Brazilian striker Rodrigo Tosi has been all around the world playing football, and his latest stop is at Limerick.  The 34 year old veteran has already picked up six goals so far to help lead his side as best he can, but they will be hoping for even more from him.  He's seen his side struggle of late, and it can be difficult for a striker on an underperforming side, but he can give them a confidence boost with some good play from time to time.

Team Form

Limerick have two losses and three draws in their last five outings.  Successive 1-1 away draws occurred against Derry City and Shamrock Rovers before they lost to Sligo Rovers away 3-0.  They returned home to draw 1-1 against Derry before falling on Friday at home to Dundalk 0-3.

Expected Line-up: 4-2-3-1

Limerick likely XI

  • Goalkeeper:Clarke

  • Defenders:Kelly, Whitehead, Williams, Robson

  • Defensive Midfielders:Duggan, O'Conor

  • Midfielders:Mulhall, Lynch, Clarke

  • Forwards:Tosi

Both sides come into this match with a lot of pressure. It might be extreme to say that this is a six-pointer, but there are a lot of those that could be played for the rest of the season in Ireland. A lot of opportunity exists for the winner here as they can get themselves away from that pack of teams with a decent run of results to follow. That\'s what makes this match so crucially important as both sides don\'t want to be drawn into that battle long term.
Limerick are just three points above possible relegation right now, which means that Bohemians are just two points above the drop.
