D1 - Football - Ireland - Eircom League

As last week, it seems Finn Harps credited by bookies stronger then results suggest.

Against Sligo Rovers hosts suffered twelfth defeat of the season, gaining - since previous meeting with Pats ended with a 2. 0 defeat in March - only two wins and three draws in 15 rounds. In this epriod they suffered another 2-0 defeat against Pats, this time far from home.

In term of team news hosts remain more or less in same situation of last weekend: Connoly ( midf. 12+1) return from ban but is doubtful, Hery ( midf. 8+7) remain suspended, Webster ( def. 9) is injuried, Nzeyi ( midf. 12) and Mahdi ( att. 12+6 1g) are doubtful.

Pats is fouyrth on table, twenty points more then the opponent, only four away wins but best away defense with only seven goals against and three on four away defeats arrived against the three teams on top of table,

Finn has same bad performances at home as away, one win and two draws for them in nine rounds with only five goals scored ( worst home defense with thragic UCD), the win arrived against new promoted Shelbourne in April at 89° minute of the match.

Pats without four players, but all old old misses with few or no minutes on field this season.

Pats. with hard match against Shamrock on Monday, but i don't think they'll put on field a first eleven thinking to it, having great chances to win against this poor opponent.
