Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Finn Harps & Bohemians face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the FAI Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Finn Harps form and stats

Finn Harps was eliminated in the quarter-finals replays last season in the FAI Cup.

Finn Harps's struggle is real here at Finn Park with only 6 points collected from 12 Premier Division games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-8.

No payout for Finn Harps in their previous match, an away game at Dundalk that ended in defeat 0-3. The game against Dundalk was basically lost in the first half (0-3) and the second half was more of a formality.

Before that game, the home loss against Derry City with the scoreline 1-2.
