Under 2.5 goals at Sligo Rovers vs Derry City 3/5 for Tuesday’s Irish Premier Division showdown

Posted September 28th, 2020 | By: Tom Dunstan

Competition: Irish Premier Division

Market: Under 2.5 goals

Odds: 3/5 @ 888sport

In a contest that should see chances come at a real premium on Tuesday night, Sligo Rovers will play host to Derry City in what has the makings of another low-scoring encounter.

Starting with the hosts, despite their very impressive start to the 2020/2021 campaign, Sligo Rovers find themselves in the midst of a real blip. In their opening 13 Premier Division matchups so far, they have recorded five wins, one draw and seven defeats, scoring 14 and conceding 17 in return. Collecting a points tally of 16 out of a possible 39, they open the midweek fixtures sat in sixth and four points adrift of the European positions. As for their recent run of results, Sligo have been hit with back-to-back top-flight defeats over the past fortnight and they have managed to collect just a single point over any of their previous three appearances on the spin. It should also be highlighted, the Rovers have failed to record a single Premier Division strike on their three-match winless run heading into midweek.

As for the visitors, still struggling to pick up maximum points, Derry City have failed to find a route into the top half of the Premier Division standings. In their 12 top-flight matchups so far, they have recorded just a trio of victories, four draws and five defeats, scoring 12 and conceding 12 in return. Collecting a points tally of 13, Derry sit three points adrift of the top half but will be more than aware that they also hold a three-point buffer from slipping into the relegation play-off spot. As for their recent run of results, Tuesday’s guests are also in the midst of a three-match winless run and they have also managed to win just one of their previous six Premier Division contests. It should also be highlighted, six of Derry’s last eight top-flight appearances have seen under 2.5 goals by the final whistle and we’re backing a similar outcome in midweek.
