Sligo Rovers, Recent FormSligo Rovers manager John Russell will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Dundalk. In that game they had 56% possession and managed 19 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Dundalk who had 14 attempts and 3 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 5, 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 been unable to score at home in 4 of their last 6 games; however, so far this season they have recorded 4 clean sheets from 10 games overall.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 home games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.
Galway United, Recent FormGalway United will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 home win against Shelbourne. They came away from that fixture with a 28% share of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Shelbourne, who managed 15 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.
Manager John Caulfield will be pleased with his team's recent defensive record, having conceded just 3 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have concerns that his team are not scoring many goals, and therefore dropping points. Although failing to score in 4 of their last 6 games, they may have turned a corner having won their last 1, and playing away from home, they are currently on a run of 2 consecutive clean sheets.
They have had a strong run of away form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Galway United recorded a 3-1 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Sligo will be confident of finding the net in this one against The Tribesman, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 9 encounters between the two sides.
In the league, Sligo have been unbeaten in their last 4 times they have welcomed Galway Utd to The Showgrounds.
With only John Mahon (Achilles tendon) and Nando Pijnaker (Broken rib) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, John Russell will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With only Garry Buckley (Muscle) and Colm Horgan (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, John Caulfield will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
