Drogheda United will be bidding to end a three-game losing run in the League of Ireland Premier Division when they travel to Sligo Rovers on Monday evening.
The visitors have only picked up one point from their last four matches, but Sligo will enter the contest off the back of a surprise 2-1 victory over division leaders Shelbourne.
We say: Sligo Rovers 2-0 Drogheda United
Sligo were excellent against Shelbourne last time out, and we are expecting them to pick up another three points here. Drogheda have the quality to cause the hosts issues, but the away side are struggling for form, and we are finding it difficult to back them to pick up a positive result on Monday night.

Aiming to record back-to-back wins for the first time since early April, St Patrick's Athletic will welcome relegation-threatened Dundalk to Richmond Park for a League of Ireland clash on Monday evening.
The Saints are growing in confidence under new management following a success over Galway United last time out, whilst the Lilywhites are hoping to build on the point collected against Derry City.
We say: St Patrick's Athletic 1-0 Dundalk
After getting off the mark in the St Patrick's hotseat last time out, Kenny will be confident of recording back-to-back home wins by beating a Dundalk side who are yet to earn three points on their travels.
The Lilywhites are set to be an improved force under Daly, but we cannot imagine the visitors earning anything on Monday night at Richmond Park.

Fourth will travel to second in the League of Ireland Premier Division on Monday evening, with the visitors Waterford United bidding to continue their strong run of form against the hosts Derry City.
Waterford have won five of their last six in the league to rise into fourth spot in the table, four points behind second-placed Derry with two games in hand.
We say: Derry City 1-1 Waterford United
This is set to be a very intriguing match, as Derry are strong at home, but Waterford's recent form has been excellent. It would not be a surprise to see a home or indeed an away win here, but we believe that a tight match on Monday evening will end with the points being shared.
