Waterford, Recent FormWaterford manager Keith Long will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Dundalk. During that encounter they had 49% possession and had 7 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 6 of their 14 shots on goal.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 9, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 8 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
It's been a mixed run of form at Waterford Regional Sports Centre for Waterford recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 home games.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Waterford, Pádraig Amond will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Sligo Rovers, Recent FormSligo Rovers enter this game with a comfortable 3-1 home win over Drogheda United last time out in the league. They came away from that fixture with a 48% share of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Drogheda United, who managed 19 attempts on goal, 6 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 10 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 4, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Max Mata will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Sligo Rovers.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 1-1 draw.
Waterford have scored in each of their last 7 games at home in the league against The Bit O'Red.
With only Connor Evans (Concussion) and Darragh Power (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Keith Long will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Sligo manager John Russell ahead of this clash, with John Mahon (Achilles tendon) missing out, which gives Russell a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
