Connacht rivals Galway United and Sligo Rovers meet at the Pearse Stadium with John Caulfield's hosts looking to complete the treble over their neighbours.

Galway United vs Sligo Rovers Prediction
Best Bet - Draw or Sligo Rovers Double Chance @ 6/5
Galway United are a strong odds-on shot for the visit of Sligo and with a four-point edge over a side they have already beaten twice, it's easy to see why.
But the Tribesmen are in no great form, suffering five defeats in eight, and have lost keeper Evan Watts, who has returned to parent club Swansea.
They are reeling from a horror 3-0 loss at St Patrick's, where furious boss Caulfield made a double substitution after just 28 minutes, which at least stopped the bleeding.
But Rovers ought to be confident after going toe to toe with Shamrock Rovers on Friday before midfielder Daire Patton's controversial red card turned the tide, and Shamrock won 2-1.
Prolific frontman Jamie McGonigle has been signed from Coleraine to boost them in attack and the injury situation is improving, and Sligo can avoid defeat at the very least.
Alternative Bet - Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals @ 1/1
Both teams have scored in 12 of Galway United's last 14 matches, with 10 of those games producing over 2.5 goals.
Six of Sligo's last seven have produced over 2.5 goals and both teams have scored in five of those.
These teams need wins and will be positive so get on both teams to score and over 2.5 goals.
Galway United vs Sligo Rovers Bet Builder Tip
Over 3 Goals
Over 10 Corners
Sligo Rovers to Win Either Half
Pays 10/1
The expectation of goals at the Pearse Stadium means it makes sense to be bold for the Bet Builder and take over three goals as the first leg.
There are nearer 12 corners than 10 in Sligo's away games this season, so adding to the sense that this could be an entertaining encounter, take match corners to be over 10.
With Galway having lost five of their last eight and each of their last two, they will be feeling it, and the Bit O' Red can make them sweat by winning at least a half.
