St. Patrick's Athletic – the shape of the team and its analysis:
The "Red Army" performed well last season, finishing third in the final league standings. As a result, they played Vaduz in the Conference League. At home, they quickly built a lead, winning 3-1, and felt like tourists in the return leg in Liechtenstein.
In the league, however, the team has significantly declined. They are comfortably distant from the relegation zone but are averaging just over a point per game.
Sligo Rovers – the shape of the team and its analysis:
"The Bit O'Red" narrowly avoided trouble last season, finishing in eighth place, thus extending their stay in the Premiership.
This season, they have performed much better. The club from western Ireland is among the leading group – Shelbourne and Derry City are almost out of reach, but the next positions in the division are still up for grabs. They won three times in a row from late June to July and also convincingly defeated Galway 2-0.
