Match Preview: Drogheda United vs Sligo Rovers

Sligo Rovers travel to Louth tomorrow to take on the struggling Drogheda United.

The team came through Tuesday's 3-1 victory over Bray Wanderers without any injuries or suspensions picked, and it is likely we will see a similar team tomorrow night.

One man who certainly won't be losing his place is Eoin Doyle, who's recent goalscoring spree has seen him put Rafael Cretaro and Matthew Blinkhorn out of the starting line-up in recent weeks, and will be keen to build on his record, which currently stands as 8 goals in 7 games in all competitions.

With The Bit O' Red being favourites to win tomorrow, Hunky Dorys Park has been a poor hunting ground since we returned to the Premier League in 2006, winning there just once, a hard fought 3-2 victory last summer.

The first meeting of the two teams was a comfortable 2-0 victory in The Showgrounds for Rovers, with winger John Dillon scoring both goals on the night. Their form certainly hasn't picked up since, with just two points to show for their efforts, but Jason McGuinness feels we can't take them for granted, and also discusses Tuesday's win: "Drogheda will be another hard test on Friday night. We were happy with the way we play on Tuesday night.

"After giving away the goal against Bray it was important we kept our heads up and reacted in the best way possible. We have to take that into the next game now.

"Our players are always capable of putting a lot of passes together and putting teams under pressure as we did in second half against Bray.

"We’re going to go down there looking to get three points and try to stay as high as up in the table in as possible.

"We take each game as it comes so we’ll be up for the challenge Drogheda will pose."
