The SSE Airtricity League First Division takes top billing tonight, with Wexford Youths on the brink of claiming the title for the first time and, with it, promotion to the Premier Division.

Previews of all today’s Division 1A/1B games.

With their ten-point lead at the top, Dundalk might already have one hand on the league trophy but as they head to Dalymount Park to take on Bohemians this evening, the defending champions know that they will be coming up against the only side to have inflicted a defeat on them in the league this season.

The second half of the season is where “the real action starts”.

Four of the top five go head to head in the SSE Airtricity League tonight with leaders Dundalk away to fifth-placed St Patrick’s Athletic and second taking on third as Cork City host Shamrock Rovers at Turner’s Cross.

With leaders Dundalk and second-placed Cork City not in action tonight, Shamrock Rovers have a chance to leapfrog the Rebels when they host Drogheda United at Tallaght (8pm).

John Caulfield is a professed fan of St Pats’ style of football under Liam Buckley but he’ll be hoping his Cork City can knock the glide out of their stride at Richmond Park this evening.

If the 2015 SSE Airtricity League Premier Division can somehow pick up where it left off last season, then the faithful should be in for a treat or two over the next 48 hours — and beyond.
