Shelbourne, Recent FormShelbourne manager Damien Duff will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against UCD.
They have amassed a limited number of points from their last 6 matches, despite only letting in 3 goals; this has been primarily due to their indifferent form in front of goal with 4 goals spread across those 6 matches. Consistency in front of goal has been a problem for them at home recently, having failed to score in 3 of their last 6 games. With a defensive record of 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches, they can certainly claim to be hard to beat.
Shelbourne will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.
On an individual basis, Seán Boyd will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Shelbourne's last 6 league games.
Sligo Rovers, Recent FormSligo Rovers will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their away fixture against Dundalk.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 7, and leading to valuable points being dropped. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 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.
Max Mata will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Shelbourne in this match, having already scored 6 goals in his last 6 away games for Sligo Rovers.
Shelbourne suffered the disappointment of a 0-2 defeat at the hands of Sligo Rovers the last time they met in the league.
In their previous 3 encounters with The Bit O'Reds, Shelbourne have shipped at least one goal in those matches.
Sligo has won the last 2 games they've played against Shelbourne in the league.
With only Seán Boyd (Nose surgery) and Conor Kane (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Damien Duff will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With both Gary Boylan (Cruciate ligament) and Mark Byrne (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and Johan Brannefalk (Ligament), Garry Buckley (Knee) and Karl O'Sullivan (Ligament) all unavailable in the shorter term, Sligo manager John Russell will be hoping none of his other players pick up a knock going into this clash.
