Sligo Rovers Dundalk betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match is for Dundalk to win. Despite implying a match away from home, the visiting team presents more and better arguments compared to the "enemy" of this round, and in addition, wants to enter the championship in the best way. On the other hand, it is important to note that Sligo Rovers has a lower quality squad compared to the opponent. Having said that, and taking into account these factors, risking in favor of the visitors in this match is a good option.

In the Irish championship 2020, Sligo finished in 4th place with 25 points.

Analysis Dundalk

The away team makes its debut in this edition of the competition, after having finished 3rd last season. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 34 goals scored and 22 conceded; against 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 22 conceded. In their last match, for the Club Friendlies, they got an away win against Drogheda United by (2‑3). In the last 10 away matches Dundalk has won 5, tied 1 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 2 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in all of those 2 matches and have held on to the lead in 1. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Dundalk starts this match with a 2-3 victory against Drogheda, in preparation for the next official matches. It should be noted that Dundalk ended the previous championship in 3rd position. In this match against Sligo, it will be natural for coach Filippo Giovagnoli to keep the team drawn in 4-3-3, privileging the maintenance of ball possession and attacks organized by the runners. Midfielder Sean Murray is one of the most important players of Dundalk, quite strong in passing and vision of the game. For this match, the visiting team can count on all its players.

Confirmed Lineup: Alessio Abibi, Andy Boyle, Sonni Ragnar Nattestad, Raivis Jurkovskis, Dan Cleary, Cameron Dummigan, Chris Shields, Patrick McEleney, Gregory Sloggett, Junior Ogedi-Uzokwe, Pat Hoban.
Coach: S. O'Donnell.
