Form guide and head-to-head
These two sides also met in the 2021 final, with Pat's winning on penalties after a 1-1 draw played out over 120 minutes.
The highlight of that game was Chris Forrester's sensational solo goal to open the scoring for Pat's.

Bohs also came out second best across this season's head-to-head.
A sole win for Bohemians at Richmond Park came in March, but the other game in Inchicore ended in a draw, and Pat's were victorious on both their visits to Dalymount Park in the league. Just three weeks ago, they ran out comfortable 2-0 winners in Phibsborough.
