Analysis Drogheda

The home team faces Sligo, in a match for the 20 round, which had been delayed, after 7 wins, 10 draws and 4 losses in the league so far. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 14 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 15 conceded. In the last 10 home league matches Drogheda has a record of 4 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 16 points out of 30 possible. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (4 out of 10 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 5 of their 21 matches for this competition, but have been able to turn the score around in 2. In the last 10 home matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 7 of their 15 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

Drogheda United come into this match on the back of a 1-2 defeat at home to Shamrock Rovers, ending their five-game unbeaten run in this competition, with George Cooper scoring the only goal. The home side usually play in a 5-3-2 formation, prioritising attacking transitions and channelling their attack down the flanks. In this formation, the two players responsible for causing panic in the opposition defence are Douglas James-Taylor and Thomas Oluwa. Conor Keeley is out of this game due to a suspension.

Confirmed Lineup: Luke Dennison, George Cooper, Conor Keeley, Conor Kane, Andrew Quinn, Kieran Cruise, Shane Farrell, Luke Heeney, Ryan Brennan, Warren Davis, Douglas James-Taylor.
Coach: T. Clancy.

Analysis Sligo

The away team is currently in the 9th position of the league, with 15 points won, after 4 wins, 3 draws and 12 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against St Patrick's, by (0‑1). In the last match, they won in a home match against Waterford United, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 25 goals scored and 31 conceded; against 3 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 23 conceded. In the last 9 away league matches Sligo has a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses, so they have won 7 points out of 27 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 6 of the last 9 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 19 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 13 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Sligo Rovers come into this clash motivated after a 1-0 win against Waterford, putting an end to their two consecutive defeats in this competition: the only goal of the match was scored by Wilson Waweru. Unlike their “enemy” this matchday, the visiting team opts to play in a traditional 4-4-2, with the two most advanced players being Owen Elding. Playing away from home, it is expected that Sligo Rovers will adopt, at times, a more defensive posture, and present a squad with less quality and solutions. Manager John Russell should count on all his players.

Confirmed Lineup: Sam Sargeant, John Mahon, Reece Hutchinson, Gareth McElroy, Stephen Mallon, Jake Doyle Hayes, Conor Reynolds, Wilson Waweru, William Fitzgerald, Owen Elding, Jad Hakiki.
Coach: L. Buckley.
