Shamrock Rovers will be hopeful of extending their unbeaten run and keeping pace with the chasing pack when they face Sligo Rovers at the Showgrounds in the Sunday fixture this weekend.
The Tallaght outfit are unbeaten in four games since their drubbing at the hands of Cork City in late May.
It's a run that has seen Stephen Bradley's men win three games and draw one, most recently a 4-1 rout against Drogheda United.
Sligo Rovers haven't had the same success, however. The Bit O' Red haven't won in seven games, and most recently were beaten 2-0 at the hands of Bohemians at Dalymount Park.
Gerard Lyttle's squad will be desperate for three points, they are currently just two points from bottom of the table, albeit with a game in hand on bottom side Galway United.
