Billy Sheehan's side will make the trip to Markievicz Park on Sunday.
A lack of preparation time ahead of this weekend's clash may hurt Laois' chances.
That's the view of Midlands 103 commentator Pat O'Sullivan, speaking ahead of their trip to Sligo in Division Four.
So far this year, Laois were on the wrong end of a massive scoreline at the hands of Longford, followed by a credible draw against Meath.
Billy Sheehan's side are hindered by some injuries, but Pat O'Sullivan says they can rely on some key performances:
