Derry City will play in this game following on from a 0-0 Premier Division drawn match vs Sligo Rovers.

Their most recent results shine a light on the fact that much respect should be given to the Derry City rearguard. Derry City have been mean at the back, seeing the number of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper during their last 6 matches standing at 2. We will just have to find out whether or not that trend will end up being sustained here.

Taking a look at their past results, Derry City:

  • haven't been beaten in the league by Sligo Rovers in their previous 2 matches.
  • haven't been defeated in their previous 2 league matches at home.

The stats donโ€™t lie, and Sligo Rovers have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 10 goals overall. Defensively, Sligo Rovers have some weaknesses to address.

Ahead of this clash, Sligo Rovers are winless against Derry City when having played them away from home in the previous 4 matches in the league. Not good.

โ†”๏ธ Head to head

A glance at their past head-to-head meetings stretching back to 21/08/2021 tells us that Derry City have won 3 of these & Sligo Rovers 1, with the number of drawn matches being 2.

A combined sum of 9 goals were scored between the two sides in this period, with 6 of them for The Candystripes and 3 for The Bit o' Red. The average goals per game has been 1.5.

The previous league game featuring these sides was Premier Division match day 33 on 24/10/2022 when it finished Sligo Rovers 0-0 Derry City.

The referee was Neil Doyle.

๐Ÿ—ž๏ธ Team News: Derry City

Regarding absentees, thereโ€™s just the sole fitness concern for the Derry City boss Ruaidhrรญ Higgins to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed group. Ciaron Harkin (Cruciate Ligament Injury) wonโ€™t play.

In all likelihood, The Candystripes will probably use the 4-2-3-1 formation this time, utilising Brian Maher, Ciaran Coll, Ronan Boyce, Shane McEleney, Ben Doherty, Patrick McEleney, Sadou Diallo, Ryan Graydon, William Patching, Oliver O'Neill and Jamie McGonigle.

๐Ÿ“ฐ Team News: Sligo Rovers

Weโ€™re of the thinking that The Bit o' Red could decide to utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation using Luke McNicholas, Johan Brannefalk, John Mahon, Nando Pijnaker, Reece Hutchinson, Greg Bolger, Niall Morahan, Fabrice Hartmann, Bogdan Vastsuk, William Fitzgerald and Max Mata.

โšก Prediction

Our thinking is that Derry City will more than likely fashion enough chances to find the net more than once while possibly not conceding when they come up against Sligo Rovers, who wonโ€™t find it easy getting on the scoresheet.

We reckon that it will be a 2-0 winning margin for Derry City at the end of the match.
