INTERTOTO CUP:CAUTION AND patience are the watchwords for Bohemians as they look to overturn a 1-0 deficit in the second leg of their Intertoto Cup second round tie against Latvians FK Riga at Dalymount Park tonight.

Right-back Owen Heary didn't feature in the first leg, but he's over a hip injury and fit to resume.Fenlon remains without injured defender Ken Oman and Mark Rossiter, while Jason Byrne, who strained a thigh in the first leg, is also out.

"We've given ourselves a chance in the second one," Fenlon said. "We'll be a bit more adventurous, but I've watched them a few times and they play that way every week.

"They play a 4-5-1 and suck teams onto them and then try and hit them on the counter, so it probably suits them (to play away).

"We've got to try to score a goal, but we've got to be strong at the other end as well."

Meanwhile, St Patrick's Athletic will be at Cobh Ramblers hoping to open a four-point lead over Bohemians at the top of the Premier Division table.

While defenders Joe O'Cearuill and John Frost remain out injured, Derek O'Brien is set for his debut following his move from Galway United. Second-bottom Cobh are set to give a debut to new signing midfielder Greg O'Halloran.
