Sligo Rovers vs Shelbourne FC - 08/08/2020
2607
On Saturday evening, Sligo Rovers host Shelbourne at the Showgrounds in the Irish Premier Division, as the home team looks to turn things around.
Sligo Rovers have made a nightmare start to the new Irish top-flight campaign. The home side are ninth-place in the table, only off the bottom of the table courtesy of an inferior goal difference to 10th place Cork City.
Last time out Sligo recorded a 2-0 away win at Derry City, which ended a four-game losing run in the Irish Premier Division. In fact, they had lost all four of their league games this season before the win. The victory ended an eight-game winless run in the league dating back to last season.
Defensive problems have plagued the home team of late, conceding at least twice in three of their last four league games.
The poor recent run of form has contributed to Sligo failing to win in four home league games, having suffered three straight home defeats.

Shelbourne have enjoyed an inconsistent start to the new Irish Premier Division, yet are still fourth-place in the table. The visitors are just three points outside the European spots in the league.
The fact that they have won three and lost three league games this season illustrates the visitor's inconsistency. Last time out Shelbourne recorded a 1-0 win at Finn Harps, which ended a short two-game losing run in the league.
The result in the match against the Harps means that there have been under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six league matches.
Shelbourne have won two of their last three away games in the league, but they have won just twice in nine league matches on their travels.
Forebet predicts that Shelbourne will record a victory in yet another low-scoring clash to add to the home team’s misery this season.
