This weekends Saturday games sees Sligo Rovers host St. Patrick's Athletic in a crucial bottom-of-the-table clash, kicking off at 7.45pm. St. Pat's have entered a good period of form, winning their last three games on the bounce having previously not won in eight league fixtures. They will face a Sligo side with just one win in their last 12, with seven draws picturing a frustrating picture for the players, staff and fans. Gerard Lyttle will be encouraged by last weeks 1-1 draw against champions Dundalk, but they will need a result here or they risk falling further behind St. Pat's in the battle for survival. Neither side has taken advantage of the other in recent times, with four of the last five games between these two teams finishing in a draw.
