Rep. of Ireland - Airtricity League
Prediction :
Drogheda United wins the match
On Friday, we head to Sullivan & Lambe Park, where Drogheda United will be taking on Sligo Rovers in the League of Ireland Premier Division. The Drogs are third in the league standings while Bit O’Red are second-bottom. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Drogheda United were forced out of second place last week following a 2-1 loss to league Leaders Shamrock Rovers. They now trail Bohemians in second by two points and have played two more games.
DUFC have struggled to convert one point into three in recent times, winning just one of their last six matches while drawing four before last week's defeat. Notably, the Drogs dropped points from winning positions in three games during this period.
At home, the hosts have been tough to beat, losing only to Shamrock in their last seven league games (W3 D3 L1). They have only lost two of 10 at home this season.
Meanwhile, Sligo Rovers are now on 13 points, just two points above basement club Cork City following a much-needed 1-0 victory over Waterford last week.
That result marked the Rovers’ fourth win of the season, but they have already lost a league-high 12 games, conceding 34 goals, which is the most in the division.
In nine away games this season, the visitors have earned just seven points (W2 D1 L6). They have also conceded two or more goals in six of those matches.

Our Drogheda United vs Sligo Rovers Prediction
While Drogheda have been guilty of leaving points on the table far too regularly over the last month, the only defeat they have suffered during this period was against league-leading Shamrock Rovers last weekend.
Sligo Rovers pulled off a much-needed home win against Waterford last time out, but they have been shipping goals in bulk on the road of late, conceding 12 in their last five outings alone. Our Drogheda United vs Sligo Rovers prediction is Drogheda United wins the match.
