*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

St Pats signed off before the recent two-week break with a dramatic 2-1 win over Dublin rivals Shamrock Rovers and they will be aiming to pick up where they left off in another derby match against Bohemians when they return to action on Friday. Pats are 19/20 favourites to secure bragging rights again.

Bohemians were a match for St Patrick’s Athletic when the teams drew 2-2 in May, however, their away form (three defeats in four) is a worry and they could come unstuck again here. Bohs have been given just a 26.7% chance of winning and that figure feels accurate. You can read more of our top football tips for this week’s fixture programme on our predictions page.

Player to watch – Chris Forrester

Chris Forrester is an influential figure in midfield for St. Patrick’s Athletic and the club stalwart and Dublin derby veteran will be eager to put his experience to good use against Bohemians on Friday.

Forrester eager to shine against former club

Forrester spent time on Bohemians’ books earlier in his career, so he will be doubly determined to put on a show against his old employers on Friday. The 31-year-old broke the deadlock from the penalty spot when the clubs last played in May and he would love to make a similar impact this week.
