Sligo Rovers Derry City betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be for both teams to score at least one goal. A match dominated by the visitors is expected, however, Sligo Rovers plays at home and can take advantage of some defensive failures on the part of the “enemy”. It should be noted that the last six home games of Sligo ended with the “Both Teams to Score – Yes” market winning. That said, we imagine a very open game with goals in both goals.
