Sligo Rovers Limerick betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this clash will be for Sligo not to win. It is true that the home team has the help of its supporters, however, in this round faces a very motivated opponent, having conquered a beautiful victory, by 3-6, in the last away clash. It should be noted that Sligo only add one win in the last five games. Thus, Limerick is expected to be able to play the game and win at least one point.

The main reference of the home team's attack is the Englishman Adam Morgan, being his best quality in finding open spaces to explore and at this point he already has four goals scored. The home team is expected to return to a 4-4-2 tactical formation where the player responsible for giving a touch of class on the offensive plays is midfielder McAleer. The Irish Callan-McFadden is the boss of the home team's defense. Coach Gerard Lyttle will not be able to count on Patrick McClean for being suspended.

Confirmed Lineup: Mitchell Beeney, Kyle Callan-McFadden, Seamus Sharkey, Calum Waters, John Mahon, Rhys McCabe, Caolan McAleer, Adam Wixted, David Cawley, Jack Keaney, Lewis Morrison.
Coach: L. Buckley.

Analysis Limerick

The away team is currently in the 9th position of the league, with 16 points won, after 4 wins, 4 draws and 11 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Waterford United, by (3‑6). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Cork City, by (0‑2). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 11 points in away matches and 5 at their stadium, with 4 goals scored and 16 goals conceded at home, against 10 goals scored and 20 goals conceded in away matches.

Limerick comes to this game unmotivated after a 0-2 home loss against Cork. The away team shall line up on a tactical system in 4-3-3, channeling their game, preferably through the central runner. In this tactical formation, the three most advanced players will be Kearns, O'Sullivan and Fitzgerald. In the middle zone of the field should play Coleman, Clifford and Duggan, being this last one the boss of the midfield. Coach Tommy Barrett should have all the players at his disposal for this round.
