Dundalk, Recent FormLast time out for Dundalk resulted in a perhaps unsurprising 1-1 draw against Shelbourne in a match they really wanted to win. During that encounter they had 56% possession and had 7 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 7 shots on goal.
It's fair to say that manager Stephen O'Donnell will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 10 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 7 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games; however, they have scored in 12 of their 13 played at Oriel Park this season.
They have been performing well at Oriel Park recently and are unbeaten in their last 8 home games.
When home matches come round at Oriel Park, Patrick Hoban will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 6 goals in Dundalk's last 6 home league matches.
Sligo Rovers, Recent FormThe Sligo Rovers players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against St. Patrick's Athletic recently, that ended in a 2-0 defeat. Their share of possession in that meeting was 64%, while racking up 15 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. St. Patrick's Athletic had 13 shots on goal with 4 on target.
Manager John Russell will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 10 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 9 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing away from home, they have conceded a goal in 12 of their 13 games this season.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
Stefan Radosavljević 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 Sligo Rovers.
It was not a positive ending for Sligo Rovers last time they met Dundalk in the league, with the game ending in a 0-1 defeat.
From their past 6 away matches in the league against Dundalk, The Bit O'Reds have managed to find the net with at least 1 goal and will be aiming to keep that streak going. The Lilywhites have struggled to keep Sligo at bay when these two teams have met at Oriel Park, during the last 3 times they have hosted Sligo in the league, they have conceded a total of 6 goals.
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 Cameron Elliott (Calf) 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 Will Fitzgerald (Groin) being out for the rest of the season and Mark Byrne (Cruciate ligament) also unavailable in the shorter term, Sligo manager John Russell will be relieved to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
