Sligo Rovers St Patrick's Athletic betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Given the above, the possibility of a game with a few goals is very high. Even away from home, St. Patrick's should push Sligo into its midfield, dominating possession and creating the best chances for goals. On the other hand, the locals should only choose to counterattack, however, should also have good opportunities to score. In this way, it is interesting to risk in favor of a game with goals.

Preview
Sligo Rovers and St. Patrick's Ath. face at The Showgrounds, in a match for the 13th round of the Premier Division. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the away team, since they have a record of 2 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss in the last 7 matches. However, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 05‑08‑2017, in a match for the Premier Division they tied (1‑1). The goals of the match were scored by K. Callan‑McFadden (32' ), for Sligo Rovers, and by Kurtis Byrne (72' ), for St. Patrick's Ath.. Although this is a match between 8th and 6th of the league table, it’s actually a match between the 10th best in home matches and the 5th best in away matches.

Analysis Sligo

The home team is currently in the 8th position of the league, with 10 points won, after 3 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Limerick, by (1‑2). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Cork City, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 7 points in away matches, with 6 goals scored and 6 conceded, against 3 points won at their stadium, with 4 goals scored and 12 conceded. For the league, Sligo Rovers won 3 points out of 18 possible points, after 1 win and 5 losses in the last 6 home matches.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 4 losses in the last home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 11 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Sligo heads into this match with a 1-0 away loss against Cork, adding the second defeat in the last three games of the Irish championship. In the last game for the league, the team lost at home to Derry, by 0-2, displaying perfectly the bad moment that goes through in the competition. In this home game coach Gerard Lyttle may opt for a more cautious strategy, as his opponent is going through a moment of great confidence. Adam Morgan is Sligo's top scorer with 4 goals scored. By all accounts the home manager can not count on the injured Patrick McClean.

Confirmed Lineup: Mitchell Beeney, Gary Boylan, Patrick McClean, Calum Waters, John Mahon, Eduardo Pincelli, Rhys McCabe, David Cawley, Jack Keaney, Adam Morgan, Raffaele Cretaro.
Coach: L. Buckley.

Analysis St Pat's

The away team is currently in the 6th position of the league, with 16 points won, after 5 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Cork City, by (1‑0). In the last match, they won in a home match against Waterford United, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 6 points in away matches and 10 at their stadium, with 9 goals scored and 3 conceded at home, against 4 goals scored and 7 conceded in away matches. In the last 6 away league matches St. Patrick's Ath. has a record of 2 wins and 4 losses, so they have won 6 points out of 18 possible. In 11 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

St. Patrick's comes to this game with a 1-0 home win against Waterford, returning to triumphs after the defeat against Cork. Despite playing away from home, coach Liam Buckley is expected to line up his team in 4-3-3 by giving priority to possession football and organized bouts: Ryan Brennan is responsible for creating and organizing the team's offensive process. On the other hand, Conan Byrne is one of St. Patrick's best scorers with 3 goals scored. Still, we point out the offensive weaknesses of the team when it plays away from home: scored on average 0.67 goals per game. For this game the coach counts on all his players.

Confirmed Lineup: Barry Murphy, Ian Bermingham, Kevin Toner, Lee Desmond, Simon Madden, Ryan Brennan, James Doona, Darragh Markey, Jamie Lennon, Christy Fagan, Brendan Clarke.
Coach: J. Daly.
