Shamrock Rovers, Recent FormShamrock Rovers will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-0 winners in their away fixture against St. Patrick's Athletic.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal for them with 15 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, boss Stephen Bradley will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 4 goals in the same period. It's now been 34 games since they failed to score at home. They are showing that they are not easy to beat with a defensive record of 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 8 games in a row.
When home matches come round at Tallaght Stadium, Graham Burke will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 5 goals in Shamrock Rovers' last 6 home league matches.
Sligo Rovers, Recent FormSligo Rovers have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 3-1 home win against UCD in their previous league match.
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 7 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. 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. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 12 games.
They have been enduring a less than rewarding period of form away from home at the moment, during which they have lost 3 and only picked up 2 wins from their last 6 matches.
Max Mata is the man of the moment at Sligo Rovers right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 5 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 1-1 draw.
Shamrock will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against The Bit O'Reds having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 7 meetings.
Shamrock have certainly shown themselves to be resilient opponents against Sligo in the league, having gone unbeaten against them in their last 7 meetings.
Shamrock player Graham Burke will be relishing this upcoming match against Sligo, given he has clocked up 4 goals in the past 3 league encounters between the two sides at Tallaght Stadium.
Shamrock manager Stephen Bradley has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Liam Burt (Muscle), Rory Gaffney (Hamstring), Seán Gannon (Knock) and Simon Power (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With both Gary Boylan (Cruciate ligament) and Mark Byrne (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and Garry Buckley (Knee), Karl O'Sullivan (Ligament) and Bogdan Vaštšuk (Muscle) 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.
