Drogheda United, Recent FormDrogheda United will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 3-1 away win against UCD.
It's fair to say that manager Kevin Doherty will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 8 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at Weavers Park.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form at Weavers Park, having lost 3 of their last 6 home games and picking up only 2 wins.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Drogheda United, Adam Foley will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Sligo Rovers, Recent FormLast time out, Sligo Rovers recorded an impressive 3-0 home win against Cork City.
It seems pretty certain that John Russell will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 9 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 9 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing away from home, they have conceded a goal in 11 of their 12 games this season.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Weavers Park, The Bit O'Reds have been unable to break through the Drogheda defence and find the back of the net. The Drogs have struggled for goals when Sligo comes to visit Weavers Park, having scored just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
Drogheda United 2 - 1 Sligo RoversWith no real injury worries, Drogheda manager Kevin Doherty will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Sligo manager John Russell with Garry Buckley (Cruciate ligament), Mark Byrne (Cruciate ligament), James Finnerty (Achilles tendon) and Karl O'Sullivan (Ligament) all unavailable for selection, and Gary Boylan (Cruciate ligament) out for the rest of the season.
