Emo will be hoping to use the momentum from their previous win in this game.
There will be "no fear" from Emo against St Joseph's according to former Portarlington manager Martin Murphy.
St Joseph's registered wins against Portlaoise and Ballyroan Abbey on their way to this weekend's quarter final.
Emo go into this encounter off the back of a six point win over Clonaslee St Manmans.
Despite Joseph' being favourites, Murphy isn't ruling out a win for Emo
