Town are on the cusp of a spot in this year's promotion play-offs.
Athlone Town are at home to the League of Ireland First Division champions Cork City as they continue to fight for promotion.
The midlanders sit third in the league standings with just two games left in their regular season campaign.
Dario Castelo's side can ensure a play-off position if they win and Finn Harps drop points against Bray.
It's been honours even when the clubs have met this year, with a win each and a draw.
Kick off at the Athlone Town Stadium is at 7.45pm on Friday evening.
