Sligo Rovers, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Sligo Rovers players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 away defeat at the hands of Drogheda United.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 7 goals shipped and valuable points dropped.
It's been a mixed run of form at The Showgrounds for Sligo recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 home games.
On an individual basis, Max Mata will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Sligo Rovers' last 6 league games.
St. Patrick's Athletic, Recent FormOn the back of a tough 5-0 away defeat by Dundalk, St. Patrick's Athletic manager Tim Clancy will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset.
He will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 11 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 4 of their last 6 matches on their travels. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
Having lost 3 of their last 6 matches and recorded only 2 victories, this has to be seen as a poor run of results.
With 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Chris Forrester has given the travelling St. Patrick's Athletic support something to shout about on the road.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was St. Patrick's Athletic who ended up empty-handed, losing 1-0 to Sligo Rovers.
Saints have let in at least one goal in each of their last 4 league matches at The Showgrounds against Sligo.
In this away league fixture, St. Patrick's Athletic has not won in the last 4 times they have played Sligo at The Showgrounds.
With both Gary Boylan (Cruciate ligament) and Mark Byrne (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and Garry Buckley (Knee) also unavailable in the shorter term, Sligo manager John Russell will be relieved to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
With only Adam Murphy (Muscle) and Danny Rogers (Finger) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Tim Clancy will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
