The countdown begins for a clash that promises intensity as Sligo Rovers and Waterford square off once more, 2 months after the previous Premier Division meeting that concluded in a 0-4 victory for Sligo Rovers.

In this Premier Division showdown, the spotlight will fall on the players who have been pivotal for Sligo Rovers and Waterford throughout the campaign. Sligo Rovers’s offensive unit, crafted under John Russell’s leadership, has leaned on Owen Elding, their main scorer, and William Fitzgerald, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. Elding leads Sligo Rovers’s scoring charts in Premier Division this season with seven goals, while Fitzgerald has been their leading creator in the competition with six assists. Supporting them are Reece Hutchinson, Cian Kavanagh and Francely Lomboto, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Sligo Rovers’s attack.

Meanwhile, Padraig Amond and Tommy Lonergan have been pivotal for Waterford’s attack, with John Coleman steering the side, combining to deliver important goals and assists. Amond has emerged as Waterford’s leading scorer in Premier Division this season, netting six goals, with Noonan leading their creative tally in the league with four assists.
