Reigning All-Ireland champions Shamrock Rovers continue their title defense away to Sligo Rovers, a team only looking to avoid relegation.

Sligo Rovers (Sligo is a port city located on the west coast of Ireland with a population of 20,000) are in 7th place with 22 points, four more than Cork City, a team in 9th place, which gives them the possibility of a promotion and promotion play-off, and on 16 more than last-placed UC Dublin (10th place goes straight into Division One).

The team coached by John Russell (as a player he played three times for Sligo Rovers, with whom he retired in 2021), lost the match in the preliminary stage with a score of 0: 2 away to Bohemians, and in the last n In seven championship matches, he recorded one win and four losses.

Sligo Rovers have won the league three times, most recently in 2012, but it doesn’t matter in Europe, they’ve never managed to get past the first round, regardless of the competition (they haven’t even made it past the preliminary rounds since 2010).

Shamrock Rovers are in 1st place with 36 points, one more than second-placed Derry City and two more than Bohemians, who are in 3rd place but have a game in hand.

The team, who have been coached by their former player Steven Bradley since 2016, are coming off the back of a 2-0 home win over Dundalk and have won four and lost one of their last five league games.

Shamrock Rovers are the most successful team in Ireland with 20 league titles under their belt, the last three in a row in 2020, 2021 and 2022 (the ten-team league is played on a spring-autumn, two-round, two-leg system) .

In Europe, the greatest figures of the team from Tallaght (the largest satellite city of the capital Dublin with a population of 80,000) are two participations in the groups of the Europa League (2011-2012) and the Conference League (2022-2023), respectively.

The two teams have already met twice in this edition of the Championship, first in Sligo, where the score was tied, 1-1, then in Tallaght, where the hosts won 2-1.
