Derry City Sligo Rovers betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

An interesting point for this game will be to see how Derry City will react to the heavy defeat recorded in the last game. The team is experiencing a moment of uncertainty, however, and faces a team that occupies the last positions, and it is expected that dominates and holds the best chances to score. In this way, the favoritism is on the side of Derry City, but we still find it very interesting to approach the goal market.

The away team is currently in the 8th position of the league, with 17 points won, after 4 wins, 5 draws and 10 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Shamrock Rovers, by (0‑0). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Limerick, by (0‑0). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 27 goals scored and 24 conceded; against 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 15 goals scored and 19 conceded.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 4 away matches. In their away league matches there are a few frequent results at half‑time: 0‑0 (4 out of 8 matches) and 1‑1 (3 out of 8 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 4 of the last 19 matches for the Premier Division, they have reached half‑time in front in 2 of those 4 matches and held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in all of them. In 19 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 12 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 10 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Sligo arrive to this game with a goalless home draw against Limerick, totaling the fifth match followed without winning in this competition. Due to the irregular phase that go through, the away group follow in the last positions of the standings. In this away game, coach Gerard Lyttle should adopt a tactic very similar to the last match, namely the 4-2-3-1, privileging the defensive organization and the counterattacks, however, in some moments of the match should take ball possession. Adam Morgan is Sligo's top scorer with 4 goals scored. The ineffectiveness in the sectors is something that has hurt the team in the away matches: they scored an average of 1 goal and suffered on average 1.38 goals per game. For this game the coach can not count on the suspended John Mahon.

Confirmed Lineup: Mitchell Beeney, Kyle Callan-McFadden, Seamus Sharkey, Gary Boylan, Patrick McClean, Caolan McAleer, Adam Wixted, David Cawley, Alistair Roy, Lewis Morrison.
Coach: R. McCabe.
