Dundalk Sligo Rovers betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this clash will be Dundalk's victory. Looking back at the last games in the championship, we believe that the two teams will act very offensive in order to conquer a victory. Despite this, the home team has all the conditions to add the three points since it presents an eleven far superior to the opponent, besides the fact to play with the help of its supporters. Having said that, risking in favor of the victory for some numbers of the locals is of enormous value.

Vemmelund (90' ) scored the goals of the match for Dundalk. The home/away factor is worth special atention, since although this is a match between 2nd and 8th of the league table, it’s also a match between the 3rd best team in home matches and the 5th best in away matches.

Analysis Dundalk

After 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses, the home team is in the 2nd position, havinf won 31 points so far. In the last match, they have lost in an away match against Waterford United by (2‑1), after in the previous match they have won (5‑0) at home, against St. Patrick's Ath.. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 11 points in away matches, with 8 goals scored and 3 conceded, against 20 points won at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 3 conceded. In their last match, for the League Cup, they got a home win against Bohemians by (3‑0). In the last 8 home league matches Dundalk has a record of 6 wins and 2 draws, so they have won 20 points out of 24 possible.

Dundalk comes to this game motivated after advancing in the Irish League Cup by beating Bohemians by 3-0. Still, let us point out that this is not Dundalk's best moment, since the team adds just 1 win in the last four Irish league games. No major surprises, manager Stephen Kenny is expected to play in the usual tactical system, namely the 4-2-3-1, with Hoban being the most forward reference of the home team: this player is Dundalk's top scorer with 7 goals. We also emphasize the great quality in the finalization of this team when it plays alongside its supporters, since it scored on average 2.75 goals per game. It seems that the entire team is available for this round.

Confirmed Lineup: Gary Rogers, Brian Gartland, Sean Hoare, Stephen Folan, Dean Jarvis, Christopher Shields, Dylan Connolly, Robbie Benson, Ronan Murray, Michael Duffy, Pat Hoban.
Coach: N. King.

Analysis Sligo

The away team is currently in the 8th position of the league, with 15 points won, after 4 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Bray Wanderers, by (2‑1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Bohemians, by (0‑2). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 8 points in away matches and 7 at their stadium, with 6 goals scored and 15 conceded at home, against 7 goals scored and 7 conceded in away matches. In their last match, for the League Cup, they got a home win against Waterford United by (1‑0). In the last 6 away league matches Sligo Rovers has a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 8 points out of 18 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (3 out of 6 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 15 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Like its opponent, Sligo managed to advance in the League Cup of Ireland, after defeating Waterford by 1-0. In the last game for the league, Sligo lost at home against Bohemians by 0-2. The 4-2-3-1 should be the tactical system used by the away team, who will most likely have Adam Morgan as a reference in the attack. However, we emphasize the quality in the defensive organization of midfielder David Cawley: this player has a very keen sense of positioning. So far, the away team has conceded just seven goals away from home, which shows its competence in the defensive sector. For this game the whole squad is available.

Confirmed Lineup: Mitchell Beeney, Regan Donelon, Kyle Callan-McFadden, Gary Boylan, Patrick McClean, John Mahon, Rhys McCabe, Caolan McAleer, David Cawley, Raffaele Cretaro, Gregory Moorhouse.
Coach: L. Buckley.
