Bohemians will be looking to make the most of their home advantage on Friday night when they face a Shelbourne side that sit 1pt and one place above them in the Premier Divison table.

Bohemians to Win
Bohemians have won five of their last six meetings with Shelbourne in all competitions, and we're backing the home side to secure all 3pts on Friday night. The hosts are unbeaten in their last three home games, picking up two wins and a draw, while Shelbourne have lost two of their last three matches on the road.
BTTS
We're confident that both teams will find the back of the net on Friday as they have done in five of their last six meetings against one another. Four of Bohemians' last five fixtures have also produced goals at both ends of the pitch, while Shelbourne have only failed to score in one of their last five matches.

Bohemians will move above Shelbourne with a win
Bohemians were at home to Drogheda before the international break where a goal from Flores right on the stroke of halftime handed the hosts a first-half lead. However, the home side couldn't hold onto the lead and eventually conceded an equaliser 6-minutes from the end as Drogheda rescued a share of the spoils. That result leaves Bohemians sitting 7th in the Premier Division table with 18-games played but a win on Friday would take them above Shelbourne and possibly even Sligo and St Patrick's as well.
Bohemians Predicted Lineup: Talbot, Wilson, Kelly, Murphy, Flores, Coote, Levingston, Burt, Doherty, Devoy & Ogedi-Uzokwe
Shelbourne made the trip to Shamrock Rovers last time out but fell behind early on to a goal from Towell and found themselves 2-0 down at the break following a second goal from Gaffney. The second half failed to produce any further goals as Shamrock ran out comfortable 2-0 winners, leaving Shelbourne sitting 6th in the table a point behind Sligo Rovers.
Shelbourne Predicted Lineup: Clarke, Byrne, Griffin, O'Driscoll, Kane, Lunney, Dervin, Moylan, Hakiki, Boyd & Farrell
Team News
Bohemians: Kris Twardek and Grant Horton could miss out on Friday through injury.
Shelbourne: Jordan McEneff, Adam Thomas, Daniel Hawkins and Sean McSweeney are all injury concerns for the visitors.
