Bohemian FC, Recent FormA point gained from their 1-1 draw against Shelbourne in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Bohemian FC. They achieved 72% possession in that match and had 21 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Shelbourne's tally of 4 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
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 8, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
There will be mixed feelings from The Bohs, although undefeated in their last 8 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
On an individual basis, Jonathan Afolabi will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Dalymount Park having scored 7 goals in Bohemian FC's last 6 home games in the league.
Sligo Rovers, Recent FormThis Sligo Rovers side will be full of confidence going into this match against Bohemian FC, having recorded a 1-0 home win against Derry City in their last league match. They came away from that fixture with a 41% share of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Derry City, who managed 6 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
Having conceded 7 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 6 points. Although failing to score in 4 of their last 6 games, they may have turned a corner having won their last 2, but they have conceded a goal in 14 of their 15 away games this season.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 8 games.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Bohemian FC, losing 3-1 to Sligo Rovers.
The Bit O'Reds defence has struggled against Bohemians in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 9 games.
Sligo has a very poor track record against Bohemians when playing away from home in the league, losing the last 4 times they have met at Dalymount Park.
There is only really one injury concern for the Bohemians manager Declan Devine ahead of this clash, with Paddy Kirk (Ankle) missing out, which gives Devine a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
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.
