Shamrock Rovers, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Shamrock Rovers players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 away defeat at the hands of St. Patrick's Athletic. They came away from that fixture with 70% of the possession and clocked up 20 attempts on goal with 5 on target. By comparison, St. Patrick's Athletic managed 9 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
Manager Stephen Bradley will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 9 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 6 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 50 games in a row, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at Tallaght Stadium.
Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 12 games in a row.
Goalscorer Darragh Burns will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Shamrock Rovers.
Sligo Rovers, Recent FormOn the back of a tough 3-0 away defeat by St. Patrick's Athletic, Sligo Rovers manager John Russell will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset. In that game they recorded 56 % of the possession, with 7 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 6 of their 18 shots on goal.
When it comes to attacking power Russell will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 9 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 5 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games.
This has been a difficult period for the team in terms of away form, with 3 defeats and just 2 victories in their last 6 matches away from home.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Sligo Rovers, Max Mata will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
The previous meeting between these two sides was not one to live long in the memory; that match finished without a goal, and both teams settling for a point apiece.
In each of their last 5 away matches in the league at Tallaght Stadium, The Bit O'Red have let in at least 1 goal. We have seen plenty of goals from The Hoops when they play at home against Sligo. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 9 goals, which is an average of 3 goals per game.
Playing at home, Shamrock have won the last 3 and are unbeaten in the last 5 times they have faced Sligo in the league.
Graham Burke will be looking forward to this meeting with Sligo, the Shamrock player has found the net 4 times in the previous 3 league matches against them at Tallaght Stadium.
Shamrock manager Stephen Bradley has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Jack Byrne (Calf), Neil Farrugia (Collarbone), Rory Gaffney (Knee), Lee Grace (Leg), Seán Kavanagh (Muscle), Johnny Kenny (Muscle) and Aaron McEneff (Unknown) are all currently out of contention for this game.
John Russell has a number of injury concerns in his Sligo squad to contend with: John Mahon (Achilles tendon), Nando Pijnaker (Broken rib) and John Wilson (Hamstring)
