This could be an interesting match as Dundalk have their presumed home advantage while Sligo Rovers are ahead 6 points in the Premier Division table.
- Dundalk have failed to keep a clean sheet in all their home matches.
- Sligo Rovers have not yet lost a game away.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Sligo Rovers have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 4-1-4 (win-draw-loss) from nine matches.
