Sligo Rovers, Recent FormSligo Rovers were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 2-2 draw against Drogheda United. During that encounter they had 60% possession and had 4 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 8 of their 12 shots on goal.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 11 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 8, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games, and so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 22 of their 25 games overall.
It's been mixed fortunes for Sligo at The Showgrounds recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 home games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Sligo Rovers, Stefan Radosavljević will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
St. Patrick's Athletic, Recent FormSt. Patrick's Athletic manager Jon Daly will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Cork City. They achieved 52% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Cork City's tally of 3 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 15 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 5 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. Their goal scoring streak away now stands at 12 games in a row, but so far this season they have conceded a goal in 11 of their 12 games away from home.
Unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches can be counted as a good run of form, particularly with 3 victories included.
Chris Forrester will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for St. Patrick's Athletic.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 0-1 win for Sligo Rovers.
