28/04/21 2864

On Friday evening, Drogheda United host Sligo Rovers at Head in the Game Park, as the visitors look to continue their decent start to the campaign in the Irish Premier Division.

Drogheda Utd have made a mixed start to the Premier Division campaign, picking up eight points from their opening seven league games of the campaign.

However, the home side has won just two of their seven matches in the Irish top-flight after winning promotion last season.

Last time out they suffered a 2-1 defeat against Dundalk, which was their second straight league defeat. Their results so far have Drogheda fifth-place in the Premier Division table.

Their home form could not have been more consistent this season, as they have won one, drawn one and lost one of their three matches on home soil.

Their home games in the Irish top-flight have been low-scoring this season, as all three have produced under 2.5 goals.

Sligo Rovers are experiencing a decent start to the Irish Premier Division campaign, as they are currently third place in the table, three points behind league leaders St. Patricks Athletic.

A 1-0 home defeat against Derry City last time out ended an eight-game unbeaten run in the league dating back to last season. Their recent league matches have been low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five games.

The visitors have been strong on their travels of late in the Irish top-flight, as Rovers have won their last four away matches in the Premier Division.

A key to their good away results has been that Rovers have been relatively prolific in front of goal, scoring at least two goals in three of their last four league matches on their travels.

Forebet predicts that Sligo Rovers will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to move level with the league leaders at the top of the Premier Division.
