Sligo Rovers

LDWWLL

Sligo Rovers won’t want a repeat of their last result here following a 1-0 Premier Division loss in their previous game against Dundalk.

In that match, Sligo Rovers managed 48% possession and 4 attempts at goal with 0 of them on target. At the other end, Dundalk got 15 shots at goal with 3 on target. Daryl Horgan (54') was the scorer for Dundalk.

It’s been all too rare in recent games where Sligo Rovers haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Sligo Rovers have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, giving up 12 goals on the way. Having said that, time will tell whether that pattern might persist in this game.

Going into this encounter, Sligo Rovers have not beaten Shamrock Rovers in their previous 12 league games.

Shamrock Rovers

Since a loss in their previous game against St. Patrick's Athletic in Premier Division action, Shamrock Rovers and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that game, Shamrock Rovers had 59% possession and 12 shots at goal with 3 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Shamrock Rovers was Johnny Kenny (32'). On the other side, St. Patrick's Athletic got 12 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. Ruairi Keating (76') and Brandon Kavanagh (96') scored for St. Patrick's Athletic.

Throughout their six latest matches, Stephen Bradley's Shamrock Rovers have found the net a total of 6 times - giving them the goals per game average of 1.

Going into this encounter, Shamrock Rovers remain undefeated by Sligo Rovers when they have played them away from home in the previous 9 matches in the league. A highly impressive record on the road against them.

📰 Team News: Sligo Rovers

Nando Pijnaker (Rib fracture) and John Mahon (Achilles tendon problems) are unavailable for Sligo Rovers gaffer John Russell.

🧠 Prediction

We’re thinking that Sligo Rovers will manage to put one past this Shamrock Rovers lineup, although one goal possibly won’t be enough to avoid a loss.

We therefore reckon that it will be a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 victory for Shamrock Rovers at full-time. It will be interesting to see how this one goes.
