Goal Statistics

Shamrock Rovers's defensive record is to be admired, Stephen Bradley's men having conceded 1 or less in 10 consecutive Premier Division games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.1 for Sligo Rovers makes sense in this context.

Shamrock Rovers have been reliable in attack of late, finding the net in 7 consecutive Premier Division matches. Their PG of 1.5 against Sligo Rovers on Saturday suggests they're likely to extend that run.
