Sligo Rovers have the opportunity to rise from the bottom of the Irish Premier Division when they face Drogheda United this Saturday. Ahead of the 25th round of matches, Sligo have managed 20 points, five behind eighth-placed Drogheda. Sligo are winless in seven of their last 10 meetings with Drogheda, which leads to this prediction backing an away win.
There was some reprieve for Sligo in their last outing as they overcame Janesboro 4-0 in the FA Cup. That marked an end to their six-game winless run posted earlier.
All six were in the league, and as such, they’ve managed just one point from the last six games. Playing at home hasn’t offered much reprieve, as they are winless in five, losing three times.
Across the last nine meetings between these teams, Drogheda won five times and lost just twice. The visitors have a slightly better run than Sligo and will be looking to extend their impressive trend in this fixture.
Coming into this particular encounter, Drogheda posted back-to-back wins. The most recent of them was in the FA Cup, as they also scored four times to trounce Lucan United 4-0.
What has stood out for Drogheda is the difficulty they are having in keeping clean sheets. Across their last nine league matches, Drogheda haven’t managed a shutout.

Our Sligo Rovers vs Drogheda United Prediction
Drogheda are dealing with a side that has lost the most in the league. Sligo haven’t just been posting poor results but have also struggled in this match over time. In the last nine meetings with Drogheda, Sligo only managed to win twice.
They aren’t on a great run coming here either, with just one point gained from their last six league matches. Drogheda aren’t doing perfectly, but they should have the momentum to see this match through. Our prediction for Sligo Rovers v Drogheda United is that Drogheda United wins.
