Derry City v Sligo Rovers : Premier Division match betting preview, prediction and odds

Tue 22nd Apr, 19:45 BST, Brandywell Stadium, Derry

Derry City are in Premier Division action on Tuesday evening, as Huseyin Eroglu looks to get one over on John Russell and his Sligo Rovers side at the Brandywell Stadium. Our predictions for each betting market are based on the past 20 games each side has played (at home, away or overall) with additional weight given to top teams. All the statistics and graphics are tailored for the selected market. Head to head (H2H) stats for this fixture are also given if there are are enough previous meetings. Odds are provided directly from from leading bookmakers.


Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

All things considered, our prediction for Tuesday's game is over 2.5 goals, meaning that we expect Derry and Sligo to score 3 goals or more between them during the traditional 90 mins. 2 goals or fewer would mean a losing bet but, with statistics below suggesting there will be plenty of firepower on the pitch, we think it looks like a great bet.
