Betting suggestion:

Derry's draw no bet is the market we recommend for this match. Although we remain at the start of the championship, the visiting team shows consistency in their style of play, especially in the defensive sector, and it is very possible that they will not concede goals in this match. Given this and taking into account these factors, risking the favor of Derry to win is an excellent option, however, we will protect ourselves of a possible draw.

Preview
Sligo Rovers and Derry City face at The Showgrounds, in a match for the 2nd round of the Premier Division. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 3 wins and 5 draws in the last 8 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 21‑10‑2017, in a match for the Premier Division, Sligo Rovers won by (3‑0). The goals of the match were scored by R. McCabe (8' ), V. Faherty (39' ) and C. Roddan (90' ) for Sligo Rovers. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Sligo

The home team comes to this 2nd round after a (0‑1) loss in their league debut, against Limerick. This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses in away matches; against 5 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 home matches Sligo Rovers has won 3, tied 5 and lost 2. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 13 of the last 21 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals.

Sligo coms for this match unmotivated, after having started the Irish championship with a loss by losing at home against Limerick by 0-1. In this journey inside doors, the coach Gerard Lyttle should keep the team at 4-2-3-1 being the most forward position occupied by Morgan. On the other hand, the defensive midfielder McCabe is one of the most important players on the team, being this player responsible for balancing defensively the team. For this game the coach can count on all his players.

Confirmed Lineup: Mitchell Beeney, Kyle Callan-McFadden, Seamus Sharkey, Gary Boylan, Patrick McClean, Eduardo Pincelli, Rhys McCabe, Caolan McAleer, David Cawley, Adam Morgan, Alistair Roy.
Coach: L. Buckley.

Analysis Derry

The away team comes to this 2nd round after a (2‑1) loss in their league debut, against Waterford United. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 12 goals scored and 26 conceded; against 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 26 goals scored and 23 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Derry City has won 2, tied 3 and lost 5.

Like its opponent, Derry comes for this match with a defeat in the opening day of the Irish championship, when it lost in the ground of the promoted Waterford by 2-1. Usually the set of Kenny Shiels acts in 4-2-3-1 privileging the possession of the ball and the organized attacks: Rory Hale is the main organizer of the game, being the owner of a great quality of pass and vision of the game. For this game the coach can count on all his players.

Confirmed Lineup: Gerard Doherty, Conor McDermott, Darren Cole, Armin Aganovic, Aaron McEneff, Ronan Curtis, Ben Doherty, Nicky Lowrie, Ronan Chapman Hale, Rory Patterson, Ronan Hale.
Coach: R. Higgins.
