TEAM NEWS: Blow for Athlone as Eric Foley is suspended. Cork's Ross Gaynor, previously cup-tied, is available, John O'Flynn could return.

BETTING: Athlone 4/1, Cork 4/6, draw 11/4
FORECAST: Cork win
Bray Wanderers v UCD (Carlisle Grounds, 7.45)
TEAM NEWS: Jake Kelly returns for Bray but they are missing Michael Barker, Dave Webster, Adam Hanlon, Eric McGill and Shane O'Neill. UCD without Mark Langtry and Thomas Boyle.
MATCH POINT: A weekend off due to the FAI Cup will have helped both clubs, their last clash was a 0-0 draw and a repeat on the cards.
BETTING: Bray 1/1, UCD 13/5, draw 5/2
FORECAST: Draw
Derry City v St Patrick's Athletic (Brandywell 7.45)
TEAM NEWS: Greg Bolger suspended again for Pats. Derry at full strength.
MATCH POINT: City appear to be back on track after a poor spell and while the Derry-Pats tie in the Brandywell earlier this season was a tight 0-0, Derry can get the points here.
BETTING: Derry 23/10, Pats 6/5, draw 9/4
FORECAST: Derry win
Dundalk v Bohemians (Oriel Park, 7.45)
TEAM NEWS: Stephen O'Donnell and Simon Kelly the only absentees for Dundalk. Defensive problems for Bohs with Steven Beattie suspended, Dan Byrne and Anto Murphy injured and Dave Mulcahy unavailable.

BETTING: Dundalk 4/9, Bohs 13/2, draw 16/5
FORECAST: Dundalk win
Limerick v Drogheda United (Thomond Park, 7.45)
