WATERFORD FC
The Blues welcome Sligo Rovers to the RSC this Friday in our latest SSE Airtricity Men’s Premier Division fixture, as Keith Long’s side look to pick up their fourth consecutive home win in the league.
The Blues have enjoyed playing at home in recent weeks, with wins against Dundalk (4-1), Drogheda United (4-2), and most recently last Friday against Bohemians (2-1). After falling to defeat away to Derry City on Monday afternoon, Waterford will look to return to winning ways against a Sligo side who have come into form in recent weeks.
The Blues now occupy fourth place in the SSE Airtricity Men’s Premier Division table after 19 games with 28 points to their name.
SLIGO ROVERS FC
The Bit o’Red make the journey to the RSC this Friday on the back of two important wins over the June Bank Holiday weekend. John Russell’s side picked up an impressive three points away to Shelbourne in Tolka Park on Friday night, before defeating Drogheda United at the Showgrounds on Monday afternoon.
Sligo narrowly defeated the Blues 1-0 at the RSC back in March, when Ellis Chapman’s second-half goal proved the difference between the side, before Waterford reversed the score at the Showgrounds in May thanks to Christie Pattisson’s early second-half strike.
The Bit o’Red sit in sixth place in the league table on 25 points from 19 games played.
