Betting suggestion:

As expected, Sligo Rovers should rule the game and dominate ball possession, however, in some moments the team will choose to counterattack, a transition in which it is very competent. On the other hand, we expect a very dangerous Drogheda United on the counterattack, however, with problems when it comes to finishing. Taking into account these factors, risking in favor of visitors is a good option.

Preview
Drogheda United and Sligo Rovers face , in a match for the 8th round of the Premier Division. The recent head‑to‑head record favours the away team, since they have a record of 1 win and 2 draws in the last 3 matches. The last head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 23‑01‑2020, and ended in a (1‑2) win by Sligo Rovers. The home advantage may play an important role in this match , since Drogheda United presents significant differences between home and away results.

Analysis Drogheda

The home team is currently in the 5th position of the league, with 8 points won, after 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Shamrock Rovers, by (0‑1). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Dundalk, by (2‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 27 goals scored and 16 conceded; against 7 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 20 conceded. Drogheda United has won 4, tied 1 and lost 5 of the last 10 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 5 of the last 7 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 6 of the last 7 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 8 of the last 13 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals.

Drogheda comes to this game unmotivated after having lost, by 2-1, when traveling to Dundalk, registering in this way the third consecutive match without winning in this championship: the only goal of the team was scored by Chris Lyons. In this game against Sligo Rovers, manager Tim Clancy should keep the team in its usual tactical formation, the 3-4-3, where Mark Doyle, Killian Phillips and Chris Lyons are the most advanced men of the team: the first athlete mentioned is the great highlight of this team, with 3 goals scored. For this game the home coach can count on all his players.

Confirmed Lineup: Colin McCabe, Dane Massey, Daniel O'Reilly, James Brown, Ryan O'Shea, Killian Phillips, Gary Deegan, Ronan Murray, Darragh Markey, Chris Lyons, Mark Doyle.
Coach: T. Clancy.

Analysis Sligo

The away team is currently in the 3rd position of the league, with 14 points won, after 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Bohemians, by (1‑3). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Derry City, by (0‑1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 14 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 16 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Sligo Rovers has won 4, tied 2 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 5 of the last 7 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 6 of the last 7 matches for this competition.

Sligo Rovers comes to this game with a 0-1 home defeat  to Derry City, thus registering the first defeat in this Irish championship. Despite this result and even playing away from home, manager Liam Buckley should act with an offensive strategy, looking for the counterattack in order to exploit the enemy's back. At individual level we highlight the midfielder David Cawley, a very competent athlete in the creation of the offensive process. All players are available for this game.

Confirmed Lineup: Edward McGinty, John Mahon, Lewis Banks, Robert McCourt, Greg Bolger, Garry Buckley, Shane Blaney, Johnny Kenny, Jordan Gibson, Romeo Parkes, Walter Figueira.
Coach: L. Buckley.
