Sligo Rovers 5/4 to beat Finn Harps in Friday’s Irish Premier Division matchup

Competition: Irish Premier Division

Market: Sligo Rovers win

Odds: 5/4 @ 888sport

Looking to widen their buffer at the top of the Premier Division table this week, Sligo Rovers will make the trip to the Finn Harps on Friday night.

Starting with the hosts, while Finn Harps might have landed a welcomed victory earlier in the week, they have gained a reputation for their continued issues on home soil. In their 13 Premier Division matchups so far this season, they have recorded five wins, three draws and five defeats, scoring 11 and conceding 16 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 18, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat fifth in the table and four points adrift of breaking into the European spots. As for their recent run of results, last seen landing a 2-1 win against Waterford on the road, The Harps brought an end to their three-match winless run. However, facing a tough test on Friday, it should be noted that the hosts have failed to win any of their last four Premier Division matchups on home soil, collecting just a single point on their sluggish run.

As for the visitors, only continuing on what has been a stunning run of form, Sligo Rovers have skyrocketed their way to the top of the Premier Divison table. In their 13 top-flight matchups so far this season, they have recorded eight wins, four draws and just a single defeat, scoring 18 and conceding seven in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 28 and holding a one-point buffer at the top of the table, it should also be noted that they hold the best-defensive record in the division. As for their recent run of results, last seen landing an eye-catching 1-0 victory away at Shamrock Rovers, Sligo have won their last four Premier Division contests on the spin, recording a clean sheet in each of those victories. Also, winning back-to-back meetings against Friday’s hosts, we’re backing a similar away win this week.
