In contrast, the Donegal group have a chance to overtake Dundalk and go level with Drogheda United if they were to come away victorious, but a loss may see them leapfrogged by last week’s opponents Waterford.

If Liam Buckley’s men were to triumph they would edge closer to Sy Patrick’s Athletic in second, but more importantly it may give some breathing room between themselves and Derry City who are currently just one point their deficit.

The other end of the pitch Mark McGinley holds four clean sheets this year, while Sligo’s Ed McGinty has his tally at nine.

In Harps’ camp Babatunde Owolabi retains his top goalscorer position on 11 so far this season, closely pursued by Adam Foley on eight and the second nearest Sean Boyd with 4.

Relying heavily on youngster Johnny Kenny since Jordan Gibson departed the club, they will again look to the 18 year old along with Walter Figueira and Romeo Parkes to pull through on the attacking front.

Similarly Sligo faced defeat at the hands of old rivals Shamrock Rovers at Tallaght Stadium when Danny Mandriou and former player Aaron Greene netted against them to leave a bitter taste in their mouths on the long way home.

There Kosovar Sadiki’s header proved the difference and the Ballybofey group will be hoping they can acquire all three points again at home come 7:30pm. The Harps however did concede four goals to Waterford in their most recent match, Phoenix Patterson, John Martin and a brace from Armando Junior Quitirna seeing them undone.

Their last two encounters this year have yielded a split decision in terms of results, the series 14 meet seeing Rovers run away 2-1 to the good and the most recent clash culminating in a 1-0 victory for Ollie Horgan’s side at The Showgrounds.

The Bit O’Red flailing their title hopes that had been on the cards earlier in the season now sit in third spot in the table, with the Donegal outfit five times the latter in eighth.
