Sligo Rovers

LLDLWL

Since a losing effort in their last game against Shamrock Rovers in Premier Division competition, Sligo Rovers and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that game, Sligo Rovers managed 54% possession and 13 shots on goal with 3 on target. At the other end, Shamrock Rovers had 12 shots at goal with 5 on target. Matt Healy (40') and Danny Grant (45') scored for Shamrock Rovers.

The strike force from Sligo Rovers have failed to get amongst the goals over their previous 6 clashes, netting the poor return of only 3. In those matches, The Bit o' Red have also seen the collective goal tally against them equal 10. With no two games being the same, it remains to be seen if that pattern shall persist in this upcoming match.

Going into this contest, Sligo Rovers haven’t won away from home in the past 3 league matches.

💭 Prediction

For this match, we think that Sligo Rovers are dangerous enough to find the net against this Dundalk side, although it may not be enough to avoid defeat.

We’re expecting a very close game with a 2-1 winning score for Dundalk by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. There shouldn’t be much in it, either way.
