The season is still fairly new and the Premier Division table has to be read with caution. So far Bohemians find themselves in 3rd position and Shelbourne are placed 4th.
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.
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
