Dundalk, Recent FormDundalk will not be too troubled by their 2-0 home defeat against Galway United, given the latter currently sit 6 places further up the league table than they do. They came away from that fixture with 70% of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Galway United managed 13 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
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 5 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games.
They have had a good run of form at Oriel Park recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.
Sligo Rovers, Recent FormThe 1-0 home defeat to Shelbourne will not have sat easily with the Sligo Rovers squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they had 58% possession and managed 14 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Shelbourne who had 7 attempts and 5 on target.
Having scored 4 goals and conceded 8 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games.
An away win for Sligo Rovers is just a distant memory, having not won on the road in 12 games.
On an individual basis, Fabrice Hartmann has scored in each of Sligo Rovers' last 0 league games away from home.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Sligo Rovers, losing 0-2 to Dundalk.

In the last 3 league meetings between the teams, Dundalk has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Sligo in 3 games.
John Mountney 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 no real injury worries, Dundalk manager Stephen O'Donnell will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
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.
