Yet another intriguing match in the Premier Division. Derry City is in the 1st place from participating in two matches. They receive Sligo Rovers who are placed 4th from one matches.
3 - 0 - 3 with 6-11. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Sligo Rovers when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Sligo Rovers play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Derry City and Sligo Rovers.
Derry City form and stats
The hosts won their first Premier Division game here at The Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Derry City last season were 6 wins, 8 draws and 4 losses from 18 games.
A nice win for Derry last time playing, versus Shamrock Rovers. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Patching and McGonigle scoring for the victors.
Preceding that game was the away draw at Dundalk that finished 2-2.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Derry City have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won two times, drawn three and lost one.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Derry as they are travelling to their away game against Shelbourne in the Premier Division. That match is four days after this one.
Early season league goal statistics from Derry City's 1 home game: 2 goals, 1 conceded.
Sligo Rovers form and stats
Let's have a look at how Sligo Rovers performed last season in the Premier Division: They landed a 3rd position in the league table after playing out 16 victories, 9 draws and 11 defeats. In total they scored 43 and conceded 32 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 8 - drew 4 and lost 6 with 19/19 goals scored/conceded. A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Premier Division, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 8 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats from 18 matches.
Sligo Rovers play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting St Patrick's (placed 3rd).
A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Bohemians.We have checked recent matches where Sligo Rovers have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those ten games were four victories, two draws and four defeats.
2 goals so far away for Sligo Rovers, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 1 league match away.
