The visitors are favourites to win
Sligo Rovers are currently struggling with form. The hosts have been winless in the last eight matches, seven of which have been losses. With such a poor run of form and an impressive record against the visitors, they are likely staring at the eighth defeat against St. Patrick's Athletic in 17 meetings.
Both teams to score
Sligo Rovers found the net against St. Patrick’s Athletic in three of their last five home fixtures against the visitors. We think after weeks of poor performance, the hosts will come back stronger after the international break to score at least once in this fixture.
Over 2.5
We are also tipping more than two goals in this fixture. St. Patrick's tends to outscore struggling opponents. In this fixture, we are backing the visitors to find the net at least twice to accompany the probability of a huge win on matchday.
Match Preview: Can St. Patrick’s Athletic Displace Shamrock Rovers from the Top?
Second-placed St. Patrick’s Athletic are at point par with table toppers Shamrock Rovers? The big question is can they move to the tip after this fixture? Our match preview has the details.
Sligo Rovers
Sligo Rovers will strive to win this game, at least to steer clear of fourth-placed Derry City that is in hot pursuit. Only two points separate third and fourth places. However, catching up with second-placed, St Patrick’s Athletic remains a far cry for the hosts given that they are 11 points shy of the second spot. The hosts have the seventh-best home record of 4W, 3D and 4L after 11 home fixtures. Also, note that Sligo Rovers have two games in hand coming to this fixture and hope to take advantage of it to widen the gap between them and fourth-placed Derry City. Sligo Rovers head coach, Liam Buckley, has 2D and 1L in three meetings with the visiting coach, Stephen O’Donnell.
St. Patrick’s Athletic
The visitors boast 7W against 1W in the previous 16 meetings with Sligo Rovers. It means these teams have shared the spoils eight times in previous encounters. The visiting manager also boasts a better record against his Friday hosts, which makes this fixture even more interesting. Will Stephen O'Donnell get a second victory over Sligo's head coach? For now, everything boils down to how both sides prepare tactically for this fixture. If we go with the stats, the visitors have a narrow edge in this matchup.
