In my opinion Shamrock is clear favorite of today's match up and they should be able to make comfortable win.

For sure they coming for this game full of confidence and with good mental advantage as they won in last match between both teams in previous month at Sligo stadium 1:0.

Shamrock currently have excellent streak at home against Sligo. They recorded 13 wins in their last 17 home matches against Sligo. I believe they have all required tools to make another win today.

7 rounds left, so still 21 points to collect. Shamrock sitting at first position, 9 points above St. Patrick's, but situation is not decided yet so for sure they have huge motivation to win today's match front of home crowd and get another three extremely important points. They won 4 of last 5 matches, form is good, but in last round they lost 0:1 on away against Dundalk and for sure they wants to bounce back as soon as possible. They coming with the strongest possible line up for today's match.

Since home loss against Shamrock, Sligo played two matches. They lost badly on away 1:4 against Dundalk and they failed to win at home (1:1) against poor Waterford. They are not in good form at all. Defensive formations looks very unstable at the moment. In addition to that Sligo today will play without their two key midfielders: Morahan (he played in 26 of their 29 league matches) and Bolger (he played in 22 of their 29 league matches). This is huge blow for the team and should have very bad impact on their performance today.

I trust Shamrock here. They should be able to make another step to the title

在我看来，沙姆洛克显然是今天比赛的热门，他们应该能够轻松取胜。

可以肯定的是，他们充满信心和良好的心理优势来参加这场比赛，因为他们在上个月在斯莱戈体育场以1:0赢得了两队之间的最近一场比赛。

沙姆洛克目前在主场对阵斯莱戈的比赛中表现出色。在过去的 17 场主场对阵斯莱戈的比赛中，他们取得了 13 场胜利。我相信他们拥有再次获胜的实力。

还剩 7 轮，所以还有 21 分要拿。主队坐在第一的位置，比圣帕特里克高出 9 分，但情况还没有决定，所以他们肯定有很大的动力在主场观众面前赢得今天的比赛，并获得重要的3个积分。他们在过去的5场比赛中赢了4场，状态不错，但上轮客场0:1输给了邓多克，他们肯定想尽快反弹。他们以最强的阵容来参加今天的比赛。

自从输给沙姆洛克后，斯莱戈打了两场比赛。他们在客场 1:4 惨败邓多克，并且未能在主场（1:1）战胜实力较弱的沃特福德。他们的状态根本不好。防守看起来非常不稳定。除此之外，斯莱戈今天将缺席他们的两名关键中场球员：莫拉汉（他参加了他们 29 场联赛中的 26 场）和博尔格（他参加了他们 29 场联赛中的 22 场）。这对球队来说是巨大的打击，应该会对他们今天的表现产生非常不利的影响。

我相信沙姆洛克能在本场继续冲击胜利。
