Sligo Rovers Preview – Can Sligo extend unbeaten run?
Sligo Rovers bring a four-match unbeaten run into this Saturday’s encounter against Shelbourne having picked up wins against Derry City and Finn Harps along with points gained in draws with UCD and Drogheda United.
These recent results have helped maintain Sligo Rovers’ position in the top half of the Irish Premier Division but the bigger picture actually shows that the hosts have managed to collect just two wins from their last nine matches overall, so they are by no means guaranteed all three points in this clash.
Shelbourne Preview – Can Shelbourne halt recent slump?
Saturday’s visitors, Shelbourne, have failed to win an of their last three league matches in the Irish Premier Division following back to back defeats against Shamrock Rovers and Bohemians, although they did pick up a point with a draw against Dundalk last time out.
Shelbourne had previously posted four wins on the trot in the Irish top flight with victories collected over Sligo Rovers (home), Drogheda, St Patricks and UCD, so the visitors are more than capable of making life difficult for their hosts in this encounter.
