Main Match Prediction

Drogheda are priced at -119 to secure a victory and we think these odds look too big. We’re expecting the hosts to land a League of Ireland win and a nice potential return could be on the cards.

Key stats supporting our main match prediction (league matches):

• Sligo have lost 4 of their last 5 games on the road.
• Sligo have lost 6 of their last 10 games.
• Sligo have lost their last 2 games on the road.

Having the inside track for injuries and accessing the form guide are important before coming up with football predictions. It’s also key to identify the key numbers and that is why our League of Ireland experts sometimes take a data-led approach.

The latest betting odds imply that our pick has a 54.3% prospect of winning. Our experts think there’s a stronger chance of success and calculate the probability to be closer to 60%. It is therefore regarded as a value bet.

One way of backing Drogheda to win at bigger odds is by going for the Match Result & Total market where you can also bet over or under a specific number of goals being scored.
