Sligo Rovers, Recent FormSligo Rovers manager John Russell will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Shamrock Rovers. During that encounter they had 39% possession and had 11 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 17 shots on goal.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 9 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 7 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have failed to score in their last 3 home games.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 home games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Fabrice Hartmann will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Sligo Rovers.
Drogheda United, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 0-0 draw against Galway United will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Drogheda United. Their share of possession in that meeting was 46%, while racking up 5 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target. Galway United had 14 shots on goal with 2 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 6, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 11 goals and some valuable points in the process.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
The last time these two sides met, it wasn't one to remember, finishing without a goal and both sides taking just a point for their efforts.
The last 3 league meetings between these sides ended in a share of the points, but Sligo might consider themselves in a better position, having a run of form in this fixture that has seen them unbeaten in their last 3 encounters.
