Sligo Rovers have got a goal in them

Struggling Sligo can deliver goals to Derry in Tuesday's Irish Premier Division game, says Tobias Gourlay

  • Derry netted in 5/5 home games this term

  • Sligo hit 10 in 4 away

  • Back +2.5 Goals


Derry City v Sligo Rovers
Tuesday 19:45 

In Spain last night, Betis beat Girona 3-1 to give us a BTTS winner. Kev's back tomorrow, so we're finishing in Ireland. If we can find a winner there, we'll finish our long week in profit...

Tonight's game in the Irish Premier brings tenth and last Sligo Rovers (W2-D1-L7) to seventh-placed Derry City (W4-D2-L4) and we're taking the odds-against money available on Over 2.5 Goals.

Two of Sligo's three non-defeats have come on the road (W1-D1-L3). And since an opening 0-3 defeat at current league leaders Drogheda, they've scored 10 times across four away days. At the other end, they've conceded 9 in 4. In total, four of the five games have hit Over 2.5 Goals.

Derry are an even W2-D1-L2 at Brandywell Stadium. They've netted on all five appearances and should find ways through Sligo's leaky defence today. At the other end, the hosts are four games without a clean sheet of their own. Three of those four games have delivered Over 2.5 Goals and that's our punt on this one.
