Dundalk, Recent FormStephen O'Donnell will have some work to do building up his players after their 4-0 home thrashing at the hands of Shamrock Rovers.
When it comes to attacking power he 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 7 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have recently found some good scoring form at home, hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Oriel Park. O'Donnell will have some concerns about his team's back line after only making 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home matches.
Having managed to remain undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home matches at Oriel Park, they have put together a strong home record of late, winning 3 of these games too.
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 home defeat at the hands of Bohemian FC.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 8 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 8 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches. 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.
It's been a mixed run of form for Sligo recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
Having scored 5 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.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 3-3 draw.
In each of their last 5 games away from home in the league to Dundalk, The Bit O'Reds have scored at least 1 goal and will be looking to extend that run. We have seen plenty of goals from The Lilywhites 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.
In the last 5 league meetings between these sides, Dundalk have shown they are a tough nut to crack, going unbeaten against Sligo in all 5 matches.
Patrick Hoban will be feeling confident about scoring for Dundalk ahead of this encounter with Sligo, having netted 3 goals in the past 3 league meetings between these two at Oriel Park.
With John Mountney (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and Paul Doyle (Muscle) also unavailable in the shorter term, Dundalk manager Stephen O'Donnell will be pleased to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
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.
