Longford Town are the visitors to Dalymount Park to face Bohemians on Saturday afternoon in the second round of the League of Ireland Premier Division on Saturday at 4pm.
Daire Doyle won't be getting carried away by his side's top of the table league position at the first round of games but will be hoping to recreate the performance from that victory over Derry City when they face Bohs today.
The Phibsboro side will themselves be looking for a response after a disappointing defeat in Finn Park last weekend. Keith Long will be looking for a more cohesive performance from his side after they failed to break down a resolute defensive display from Finn Harps.
Longford will hope players like Aodh Devlin and Dylan Grimes will control the midfield to give their potent forward line the opportunity they find the back of the net.
Bohs will be looking to reverse there result from last weekend, they paid the price last week against Harps where Long made the decision to only play one striker up front. Supporters of the Phibsboro side will want to see a more attacking threat from their side at home whether this means a change of formation or just trying to control the game in the middle of the park in comparison to the 2 that Longford played in the middle last week.
The home sides experience challenging at the top of the table in recent seasons, coupled with home advantage might be just enough to swing the game in Bohs favour but Longford will be eager to build on their fine start to the season.
