Believing they should have won with more to spare at Cork City last Sunday evening, Bohemians manager Keith Long knows his side will need to up their game further when champions Dundalk visit Dalymount Park this evening.

An early goal from striker Andre Wright was sufficient for the Gypsies in the end to see off Cork in an atmosphere that Long described as a "surreal experience" behind closed doors at Turner’s Cross.
