Sligo Rovers, Recent FormSligo Rovers will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 2-2 result against Bohemian FC last time out. Their share of possession in that meeting was 43%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Bohemian FC, who had 13 shots on goal with 4 on target.
They have found the net 5 times in their last 6 matches, but it hasn't earned them much points-wise due to a leaky defence that's shipped 12 goals in that same period. They have been unable to score at home in 4 of their last 6 games, and they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
Derry City, Recent FormDerry City enter this game with a comfortable 2-1 home win over Drogheda United last time out in the league. In that game they had 66% possession and managed 16 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Drogheda United who had 9 attempts and 4 on target.
With 12 goals scored from their past 6 matches and just 1 conceded, their manager Ruaidhrí Higgins will be more than happy with his team's form of late. When playing away from home, they have scored in 4 of their last 6 games and are on a run of 2 consecutive clean sheets.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 6 games.
Will Patching has scored 4 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Sligo Rovers.
Last time these two teams played each other in the league Sligo Rovers sprung a suprise, upsetting the form book by winning the game 1-0.
Sligo have managed to keep a clean sheet against The Candystripes in each of their previous 3 meetings at The Showgrounds. In their previous 4 encounters with Sligo, The Candystripes have shipped at least one goal in those matches.
Playing at home, Sligo have won the last 2 and are unbeaten in the last 4 times they have faced Derry City in the league.
There is only really one injury concern for the Sligo manager John Russell ahead of this clash, with John Mahon (Achilles tendon) missing out, which gives Russell a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Ruaidhrí Higgins has a number of injury concerns in his Derry City squad to contend with: Sadou Diallo (Ankle), Ciaron Harkin (Unknown) and Colm Whelan (Knee)
