Sligo Rovers vs St. Patricks Prediction & Tips
The season has been extremely difficult for Sligo Rovers. The team has already suffered 11 defeats in 17 games and is only in 10th place with 12 points. Defence is the main Achilles’ heel: 33 goals conceded, the worst record in the league. Even at home to lowly Shelbourne, John Russell’s side could not hold on for a draw and went down 2-3.
St Patrick’s Athletic are going into the season as shadow candidates for the top places. Stephen Kenny’s side have picked up 26 points and remain firmly in the top five. In the last five rounds, the Dublin side have not shone – only one win – but the play has been far from disastrous. Last time out, the Saints held Waterford to a 2-2 draw, showing character.
