Season ticket holders at Turner's Cross haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Cork City languishing in the 7th position so far. The guesting Sligo Rovers will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
