Sligo Rovers
LLLWLD
Sligo Rovers go into this match following a 1-1 Premier Division drawn match against Cork City.
In that game, Sligo Rovers had 53% possession and 9 attempts at goal with 3 on target. The only player to score for Sligo Rovers was Francely Lomboto (90'). Cork City had 2 shots at goal with 1 of them on target. Kitt Nelson (76') scored for Cork City.
It’s not been often in recent games where Sligo Rovers have shown defensive steel. The facts show that Sligo Rovers have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 12 goals on the way. Having said that, we will just have to wait and see if that trend might be maintained here in this game or not.
Leading up to this clash, Sligo Rovers:
- have not won against Drogheda United in their last 2 league games.
- are without a win at home for the past 4 matches in the league. Things will have to change soon.
Drogheda United
DWWDDL
Following on from a loss in their previous game against Galway United in Premier Division action, Drogheda United and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
In that match, Drogheda United had 43% possession and 19 shots at goal with 5 on target. The only player to score for Drogheda United was Darragh Markey (45'). Galway United had 13 attempts at goal with 4 on target. Moses Dyer (68', 70') scored for Galway United.
Throughout their six latest matches, Kevin Doherty's Drogheda United have fired home a total of 9 times therefore earning them the goals per game average of 1.5.
Ahead of this meeting, Drogheda United have not beaten Sligo Rovers when they've played them away from home in the last 7 league matches. Not good at all.
👥 Head to head
An examination of their past head-to-head meetings stretching back to 28/10/2023 shows that Sligo Rovers have won 2 of these and Drogheda United 3, with the number of draws standing at 1.
In all, 21 goals were produced between them during those clashes, with 6 of them for The Bit o' Red and 15 netted by The Drogs. That’s an average goals per game figure of 3.5.
🗞️ Team News: Sligo Rovers
Oskar van Hattum (unknown injury) and Ollie Denham (unknown injury) will not be taking part for Sligo Rovers boss John Russell.
💡 Prediction
We feel that over the course of the game, Sligo Rovers may find it difficult to put one past this Drogheda United lineup who we think will win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.
That’s why our selection here is for a very competitive game with a 0-1 advantage for Drogheda United at the end of the 90.
