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 Rovers and Derry City.
12 - 11 - 15 with 42-52. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Derry City when playing on grass like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Derry City play their home games on artifical turf so that's why we provide these numbers.
Sligo Rovers form and stats
Sligo Rovers have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the Premier Division. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.
Before that, Rovers had a home game versus Finn Harps which ended with a victory 1-0.
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 Sligo Rovers have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won four times, drawn one and lost zero.
The Rovers fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. Rovers are not conceding a lot of goals here at The Showgrounds in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.
Derry City form and stats
No Premier Division points yet away for Derry City, from their first 2 matches. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Derry have lost on their last two travels.
A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Drogheda United.
Derry City are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, one draw and two defeats. From a total of four matches.
It's early days yet, but Derry City has scored 0 and conceded 4 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's four Sligo Rovers victories, two draws and four Derry City wins. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, seven matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
