Drogheda United, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Drogheda United players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 away defeat at the hands of Bohemian FC. In that game they had 43% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Bohemian FC who had 8 attempts and 2 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 5 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
There will be mixed feelings from The Drogs, although undefeated in their last 4 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.
Sligo Rovers, Recent FormSligo Rovers will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 0-0 result against Galway United last time out. They achieved 67% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Galway United's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 5 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 8 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, and overall this season they have recorded 5 clean sheets in 11 games.
Their form away from home has been of some concern, having recorded just 2 wins and 3 defeats in their last 6 matches on the road.
On an individual basis, Ellis Chapman is giving Sligo Rovers' travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 3 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
Drogheda United suffered the disappointment of a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Sligo Rovers the last time they met in the league.
In their last 4 league meetings, Drogheda have failed to record a victory against Sligo.
Drogheda United 2 - 1 Sligo RoversDrogheda manager Kevin Doherty has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Andrew Quinn (Knock), Evan Weir (Leg) and Andrew Wogan (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only John Mahon (Achilles tendon) and Nando Pijnaker (Broken rib) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, John Russell will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
