Sligo Rovers, Recent FormThe Sligo Rovers players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Drogheda United recently, that ended in a 3-1 defeat. During that encounter they had 58% possession and had 12 attempts on goal with 5 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 21 shots on goal.
Having conceded 10 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 5 points. They have been unable to score at home in 4 of their last 6 games; however, so far this season they have recorded 5 clean sheets from 12 games overall.
There will be mixed feelings from The Bit O'Red, although undefeated in their last 4 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
Waterford, Recent FormWaterford will not be too troubled by their 2-0 home defeat against Derry City, given the latter currently sit 6 places further up the league table than they do. Their share of possession in that meeting was 45%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target. Derry City had 15 shots on goal with 5 on target.
Having conceded 6 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 5 points. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games.
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.
Away from home in the league, Pádraig Amond has given the Waterford travelling fans plenty to get excited about, with 3 goals from their last 6 games on the road.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Waterford, losing 0-1 to Sligo Rovers.
Playing at home, Sligo have scored in 3 of their last 3 league games against Waterford.
Waterford has had a poor run in this fixture when they visit Sligo, being unable to find a win from any of their last 5 league meetings at The Showgrounds.
Sligo manager John Russell has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. John Mahon (Achilles tendon), Nando Pijnaker (Broken rib) and Simon Power (Knock) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Barry Baggley (Back) and Cameron Cresswell (Hip) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Keith Long will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
