eircom League Division 1 (7.45pm)
Dundalk v Bray Wanderers, Oriel Park
Dublin City v Sligo Rovers, Whitehall
Limerick FC v Cobh Ramblers, Pike Rovers SG
----
Dundalk are currently tenth in Division 1, following losses to Dublin City (2-0) and Finn Harps (3-1). Their one win in thirteen league games tells its own story of their recent fortunes.
Boss Trevor Anderson must plan without midfielders Shane Reddish and Paul Byrne. Simon Kelly though returns from suspension. With leaders Finn Harps not playing until tomorrow night, three points for Pat Devlin's visitors would see them clinch top position.
Bray travel to the County Louth venue minus Paul Forsyth (groin) and Kieran 'Tarzan' O'Brien. Central defender Jody Lynch makes his 200th appearance for the Wicklow club tonight. It looks likely that John Flood and Eamon Zayed will partner each other in attack for Bray, following their imressive displays at home to Limerick last week.
ATOGB Prediction: Dundalk 1 Bray Wanderers 2
Recent wins over Kilkenny City and Dundalk has seen the Dublin City Vikings' stock rise in the lower division. John Gill is able to name an unchanged line-up for the visit of Sligo Rovers tonight.
Sligo golakeeper Ciaran Kelly, defender John Jordan, midfielder Gareth Gorman and striker Stephen Mullen are all doubtful for the trip to Dublin. Good news for Rovers is that Don O'Riordan can welcome back Jim Sheridan from suspension and key striker Paul McTiernan. Former Galway United striker Ollie Keogh signed for the Westerners this week and could start his first game up front.

Following a meeting with local investors, Limerick FC have gotten an extension on finding a new backer for the ailing club. Well wishers have raised enough cash to keep them going for another fortnight.
On the field, manager Mike Kerley may be forced to play himself or a few of those well wishers as the total of fit players in his squad is just twelve! John Healy is doubtful between the posts with a shoulder injury. Definitely out are striker Gareth Cooney (ankle) and midfielder John Whyte (suspension), following his dismissal at the Carlisle Grounds last weekend, in a 2-1 loss to Bray.
Cobh are unbeaten in three games, despite scoring just nine times so far. Jonathan Coker and Willie Brunton should provide the firepower for Dave Hill's side to complete their third win in four games at the Pike Rovers ground tonight.
