However, it is important to remember that the home team beat Bray on the final day of the Irish championship. In the last days the coach Alan Reynolds presented the team in 4-4-2 privileging the maintenance of the possession of the ball and the organized attacks, mainly, through the corridors. At the individual level we highlight Duffus with 5 goals so far. It is important to point out that homemakers have enormous competence in the sectors when they play in their stadium, since they scored on average 2 goals and conceded on average 0.5 goals per challenge.

Sligo Review
The visiting team is currently in 8th place with 11 points, after 3 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate game, he lost out against Cork City by (1-0). In the last game, they drew at home against St. Patrick’s by (0-0). Curiously, this is a team that has achieved better results than they did at home, having won 7 points as a visitor and only 4 in their stadium. In the last 5 away games for the league Sligo has 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats, so he has won 7 points out of 15. Defensive solidity has not been his strong point, having conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 games for this competition. This is a team that scores a few times first: it only opened the scoring in 3 of its last 12 games for the Premier Division, of those 3 reached the interval in a lead in 1 and won in the late 90 ‘in all. In 12 games in this event, he suffered the first goal 8 times and never managed to return to the result.
Sligo set out for this game with a goalless draw against St. Patrick’s, adding in this way the second consecutive game without winning in the Irish championship. We emphasize that the visitors are in the last positions of the league table, that is, they need to add points in the next days. In this out of the way coach Gerard Lyttle must play in 4-2-3-1 privileging the mid-high block and successive attacks, thus exploiting the defensive difficulties of his opponent. Adam Morgan is the great highlight of Sligo with 4 cleared goals. It should be noted that the visiting team won 2 out of 5 away games. Out of this game are Cawley, punished, in addition to McClean, injured.
