Sligo Rovers vs Derry City Prediction & Tips
Sligo Rovers is going through a difficult period in its history. The club has long been without major domestic success, having last won the league title in 2013. Last season the club finished sixth in the table, but the current campaign is proving to be much more difficult.
After 23 games, Sligo Rovers are ninth in the table with 20 points. They are not in the relegation zone, but are perilously close to the relegation playoff places: only 7 points separate them from safety. Most worrying is their home form: Sligo Rovers are the worst home team in the league.
There is no time to relax: competition at the top of the table is fierce and there are only five points between second and fifth place. However, the team is in great form, with five consecutive unbeaten games and four wins in their last four matches. In three of those victories, Derry City kept a clean sheet, showing defensive solidity. Particularly impressive was their last home game against Waterford, which ended in an emphatic 7-2 win.
