Sligo expected to beat their struggling guests
Before the international break, Sligo Rovers were away at struggling UCD. The first half between the two clubs was tight and tense, ending goalless, but early in the se4cond forty-five, O'Sullivan fired Sligo in front. The visitors probably should have gone on to win the game but UCD forced an equaliser in the 69th-minute and held on to secure a point.
Sligo Predicted Lineup: McGinty, Horgan, Buckley, Kirk, Blaney, Bolger, McDonnell, Fitzgerald, Morahan, Keena & O’Sullivan
Finn Harps were also away from home in their last league game against Derry City where a goal from Mihaljevic in the 8th-minute put the visitors in front. Derry responded well though and went in at the break level thanks to an equaliser from Patching. McWoods put Finn Harps back in front in the 61st-minute but the visitors failed to hold onto their lead once again as Derry equalised deep into stoppage-time to make the final scoreline 2-2.
Finn Harps Predicted Lineup: McGinley, Carrillo, Donelon, Boyle, Slevin, Connolly, Héry, Rainey, Tourish, Mihaljević & McWoods
