Sligo Rovers remain at the bottom of the table after another disappointing loss - this time 2:3 against Shelbourne. This defeat not only extended their negative streak without a win, but also once again questioned their stability in defense. Despite being able to find a way to goal, their defensive problems prevent the team from accumulating points.
St. Patrick's with a psychological advantageThe guests reached a dramatic 2:2 draw against Waterford in their last match - a result that showed character, although it did not bring full success. They have three consecutive victories over Sligo in direct clashes, which may give them additional confidence in the upcoming visit. Their performance is not brilliant, but they certainly know how to hurt this opponent.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goalsBoth teams have been inconsistent in defense, but have shown effectiveness in their recent matches. Expectations are for an open game with enough chances and goals, with over 2.5 goals seeming like a completely possible outcome.
