Shelbourne face David Healy's side in the Champions League first round qualifier
And O'Brien hopes his side's match sharpness can come to the fore at Tolka Park.
'We go out and attack the game to win. That's not going to change.
'The atmosphere will be up but it's also about not getting too emotional, being in control of the performance, wanting it but not wanting it too much that you tighten up and can't perform.

'That's something that we've spoken about - attacking the game but not being too desperate or otherwise your performance suffers.'
Opposite number David Healy said: "We've been in nearly a month now, we've prepared as best as we can.
'It's probably not like pre-seasons gone by where players are a little bit more unhealthy and whatever else. Now the players are a bit more considerate in what they do in the off-season.'

Fifa accused of ‘turning a blind eye to basic needs of players' as global union likens Gianni Infantino to an ‘emperor'
Fifpro, which represents players' interests at the global level, said Fifa had adopted an 'autocratic' approach to governing the sport under Infantino. 'Fifa continues to systematically ignore and silence the real issues players face in different parts of the world,' Fifpro said in a statement following a meeting of 58 player unions in Amsterdam on Friday. 'It is unacceptable for an organisation that claims global leadership to turn a blind eye to the basic needs of the players. 'One clear example of this disconnect was the recent Club World Cup, celebrated by President Infantino despite being held under conditions that were extreme and inappropriate for any human being, demonstrating a troubling insensitivity to human rights, even when it concerns elite athletes. 'The overloaded match calendar, the lack of adequate physical and mental recovery periods, extreme playing conditions, the absence of meaningful dialogue, and the ongoing disregard for players' social rights have regrettably become pillars of Fifa's business model; this is a model that puts the health of players at risk and sidelines those at the heart of the game. 'We will continue to speak out against abuse and demand fair, dignified, and sustainable conditions for all players. Football needs responsible leadership, not emperors. It needs fewer autocratic monologues and more genuine, inclusive, and transparent dialogue.' Fifpro expressed deep concern earlier this month that Fifa announced a raft of measures designed to boost player welfare following a meeting on the eve of the Club World Cup final which took place without any involvement from Fifpro. Fifpro Europe is part of a legal complaint to the European Commission, also involving domestic leagues, filed last autumn over what it considers to be a lack of consultation from Fifa around the international match calendar. The unions and leagues accuse Fifa of abusing a dominant position in the market to negatively impact player welfare and domestic competitions. Fifa replied: 'Fifa is extremely disappointed by the increasingly divisive and contradictory tone adopted by Fifpro leadership as this approach clearly shows that rather than engaging in constructive dialogue, Fifpro has chosen to pursue a path of public confrontation driven by artificial PR battles – which have nothing to do with protecting the welfare of professional players but rather aim to preserve their own personal positions and interests. 'The game deserves unity, not division. Players deserve action, not rhetoric. 'Fifa will move forward together with players and those who really want the best for football. It is up to Fifpro to answer this call.'

Newcastle's Alexander Isak offered £600,000-a-week tax-free deal by Al-Hilal
Alexander Isak has been offered a staggering £600,000-a-week tax-free deal by Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia with further lucrative bonuses on top. The Newcastle striker is open to leaving St James' Park and Liverpool, who are long-term admirers, are keeping an eye on the situation. Isak has not travelled to Asia with his Newcastle teammates for the club's pre-season tour, officially because of a minor muscle injury, and is assessing his options. They include Al-Hilal, who reached the Club World Cup quarter-finals, losing to Fluminense, and want to make a grand statement by signing Isak – one of the most coveted players on the market. Al-Hilal, who are managed by Simone Inzaghi, are prepared to sweeten the package for the striker with bonuses if he were to win the league and/or the Asian Champions League and top the scoring charts. Isak has been unsettled by the transfer talk and he did not play for Newcastle in the friendly at Celtic last Saturday. The club have no desire to sell him and the fans would surely take the dimmest of views of their Saudi owners if they were to let him go to Al-Hilal. Like Newcastle, Al‑Hilal are owned by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. Liverpool would not be able to match the personal terms that Al‑Hilal have proposed and it is unclear whether they would be able to afford the fee; Isak is valued at about £120m. Liverpool have signed another striker – Hugo Ekitiké, for £79m from Eintracht Frankfurt – and spent heavily in other areas, most notably the £116m package for the midfielder Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen. Their other big deals have been for Milos Kerkez (£40m from Bournemouth), Jeremie Frimpong (£29.5m, Leverkusen) and Giorgi Mamardashvili (£25m, Valencia). When sales are factored in, chiefly those of Jarell Quansah (£30m to Leverkusen), Caoimhín Kelleher (£12.5m to Brentford) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£10m to Real Madrid), Liverpool's net transfer spend stands at £235.5m. It is possible they could raise further funds by selling Darwin Núñez, Harvey Elliott and even Luis Díaz, although they have maintained the Colombian is not for sale. Isak is contracted to Newcastle until 2028. Meanwhile, Wrexham have made an ambitious approach for Christian Eriksen, according to the former Manchester United midfielder's agent. The 33-year-old Denmark international is without a club after his contract with United expired at the end of the 2024-25 season. Eriksen's agent Martin Schoots told the Daily Mail: 'Wrexham are really upgrading everything both on and off the field, and it is a hugely impressive project, as you can see from the presence of people like (chief executive) Michael Williamson there. 'But Christian still wants to play in a first-tier competition and he absolutely wants to stay in Western Europe. 'There are some contacts going on but it has to suit both sides.' Signing Eriksen, who has won 144 caps for Denmark and has also played for Tottenham and Brentford in the Premier League, would be a major statement of Wrexham's Championship intent. Eriksen made 35 appearances in all competitions for United – scoring five goals – and has also played for Ajax and Inter Milan in his distinguished career. Wrexham's Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have showed plenty of ambition ahead of the Red Dragons' return to the second tier of English football after a 43-year absence. They have already added Wales goalkeeper Danny Ward, left-back Liberato Cacace, midfielders Lewis O'Brien and George Thomason and forwards Josh Windass and Ryan Hardie to their ranks after a third consecutive promotion. It has been reported that Wrexham, who begin their Championship campaign at Southampton on August 9, have broken their transfer record twice this summer.
