Form Guide

After overcoming Welsh side Bala Town in the last round on penalties, Sligo travelled to Motherwell last week where a first half strike from Aidan Keena sealed a 1-0 win.

The Bit O'Reds are sitting in fifth place in the League of Ireland Premier Division after eight wins and eight draws from 23 games so far.

Motherwell finished in fifth place in the SPFL last season, but playing against John Russell's side who are in the middle of the League of Ireland campaign certainly didn't help their cause.

Graham Alexander has Irish U21 international Ross Tierney in his ranks, a player who knows Sligo Rovers well from his time at Dalymount Park with Bohemians.

A place in the the Europa Conference League Third Round qualifiers awaits the winners with a clash against either Sparta Praha or Vikings in the next round.

Sligo will be without their hero of the last round in Ed McGinty. McGinty's crucial penalty save sealed Rovers' place in the round but has since completed a transfer to Oxford United in League One.

There is good news for Sligo Rovers' fans as New Zealand attacker Max Mata has signed a contract extension until 2024.

Mata has scored five goals in just 12 league starts this campaign and he has formed a great partnership with top scorer Aidan Keena this season.
