We should be in for a very interesting matchup between Sligo Rovers and Drogheda United in Matchday 5 of the Irish Premier Division. While The Drogs are just three points shy of the top, the Bit O' Red are last and may already be in the relegation talks early on. Stick around for our match prediction.
Sligo are in a desperate position after winning just one point from four games. Derry City, Bohemians FC, and Galway United all beat The Bit O' Red, with second-to-last-placed Waterford the only team to hand the Rovers a point. Sligo now turns to Drogheda in hopes of grabbing a point just as they did in their latest stalemate.
However, Drogheda United have just one agenda here, and it's to take all three points. The Drogs opened with back-to-back wins against Galway United, but things took a downturn after the Dundalk draw, as Drogheda lost the very next game to Shelbourne.
Drogheda will definitely be eyeing a win against an out-of-form Sligo. But after having failed to win nine straight games in this stadium, what are Drogheda’s true chances here? See key stats below.

Our Sligo Rovers vs Drogheda United Prediction
This should be a low-scoring affair just as the numbers suggest. Notably, Sligo Rovers are having an offensive crisis, with only one goal scored all season. That attack is now tasked with scoring a Drogheda side that has conceded the joint second-fewest goals, which should tell you what's most likely to happen.
The Drogs’ solidity at the back has seen three of their four games this season (and their only two away) finish with fewer than three goals. Hence, our Sligo Rovers vs Drogheda United prediction is less than 2.5 goals.
