The sides have won one game each in their previous meetings this season, with the Lilywhites claiming a 1-0 victory at Oriel Park in March thanks to a Daryl Horgan penalty, before Sligo won 2-0 at The Showgrounds in April.

In Dundalk team news, new signing Tom Givosti is in the squad and could make his debut, while Danny Mullen, Harvey Warren and Norman Garbett remain unavailable through injury.

Dundalk manager Ciarán Kilduff told the club website ahead of the game, "We welcome Sligo Rovers to Oriel Park. We feel we haven't performed to our own standards in our previous meetings with them this season, so we're looking to put that right on Friday night.

"There have been a lot of changes around the club in recent weeks, with new players coming in and plenty of moving parts. We're hoping that, after another week on the training pitch together, we can start to reach the level we know we're capable of.

"There were some positive signs in our performance against St Patrick's Athletic, but ultimately we were disappointed not to win the game. Now it's about building on those moments and finding greater consistency.

"With the transfer window now closed, we'd like to wish TJ Molloy all the best as he joins Armagh City on loan. TJ is a player with a bright future ahead of him, and we look forward to following his progress.

"At the same time, we've had the opportunity to integrate our new players into the squad. Cian Dillon has had a full week of training, while Tom Givosti and Egor have also come in and settled well.

"We're beginning to build some rhythm in our play again, and hopefully we're in a stronger position than we were a few weeks ago.

"We know exactly what's at stake on Friday night. It's another opportunity to pick up three important points, and we'll do everything we can to make sure they stay at Oriel Park."
