Sligo Rovers form and stats
Sligo Rovers have collected 15 points from their Premier Division home games so far after 4-3-4. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Rovers, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Rovers travelled for their previous game, a trip to Drogheda United that ended 0-0.
Preceding that match was the home game against Derry City that was lost 1-2.Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Dundalk are coming to town in four days.
The Sligo Rovers fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 11 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 9 from 11 matches.
