Sligo Rovers welcome league leaders Dundalk in the Irish Premier League at their home ground, the Showgrounds.
The home side, currently lie in 10th place, just above the relegation places and have not had a good season so far. They probably do have more to offer this league but currently they just aren't showing it. With only 1 home win this season it would be hard to back a 2nd win against the league leaders so a draw is all we have to worry about here i think.
Team news: Midfielder John Russell will likely be absent.
Dundalk come into this match on the back of their first league loss of the season. They were defeated 2-1 by Bohemians at Oriel Park, however, the home side seemed to be the much better side over the 90 minutes. I guess sometimes things just don't go your way.
Dundalk will be keen to get back to winning after after spoiling their 8 match winning run, conceding just 2 goals and will be hoping to keep their comfortable advantage going into the mid-season break.
Team news: Defender Paddy Barrett will be suspended after being sent off against Bohs but Dane Massey will be fit as is Brian Gartland, Stephen O’Donnell & Darren Meenan.
