The League of Ireland Premier Division's sole fixture on Monday comes from Dalymount Park (19:45 BST), where Bohemians entertain St Patrick's Athletic. A single point separates the fourth-placed hosts and their sixth-placed visitors, and with just two rounds of matches remaining after this game, both ought to win to stand a solid chance of a top-three finish, which could bring continental football to their respective homes next season.

Below are my Bohemians vs St Patrick's Athletic predictions, supported by all the latest team news and match odds, ahead of the City Derby.

Bohemians boss Alan Reynolds may consider changes to his starting XI, following last Friday's 2-0 defeat to Galway United.

Colm Whelan and Connor Parsons both came on at the start of the second half at Eamonn Deacy Park, and could come into contention to begin Monday's game.

St Patrick's are missing Zach Elbouzedi (shoulder) and Romal Palmer (hamstring) due to injury, while Anthony Breslin (muscle) and Sean Hoare (leg) could also be sidelined for the short trip across Dublin.

Match Result - Bohemians @ 11/8

Bohemians boast the joint-second best home record in the division, alongside St Patrick's, who have played one game more on their own patch.

Monday's hosts won last time out at Dalymount Park and beat their local rivals there 2-1 in April.

Today's Football Fixtures

St Patrick's, who haven't won either of the last two head-to-heads, have lost their last two away games, and could end the evening four points adrift of Bohemians.

Anytime Goalscorer - James Clarke (BOH) @ 4/1

Bohs midfielder James Clarke has scored six league goals in 30 appearances this season, and he was responsible for his side's latest effort, as he struck in their 2-1 defeat at Shamrock Rovers on September 26.

Four of his last five goals have come on home soil, and he looks like great value to find the net in Monday's City Derby.
