Shelbourne enter the match in good form, having won two league games in a row. The team is confident at home, demonstrating organized play and effective attacking play. This gives them a significant advantage heading into the upcoming match.
Sligo Rovers have been showing inconsistent results, alternating wins and losses. Their away record leaves much to be desired, which plays into the home team's hands. In their head-to-head matches this season, Shelbourne have already beaten their opponents twice.
The hosts will use their home advantage and current confidence to secure the three points. Sligo are unlikely to be able to cope with a motivated opponent away from home.
