Sligo Rovers vs WaterfordPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The Showgrounds hosts two sides from the lower half of the Premier Division. Sligo Rovers are tenth on 22 points, having won five, drawn seven and lost fifteen, and they carry one of the harshest goal differences in the league, twenty-three scored against forty-five conceded. At home they have lost six of thirteen and shipped twenty-two. Waterford sit eighth on 28 points with a livelier attack, thirty-seven goals, but also the more porous defence of the two, forty-eight conceded, thirty-two of them on the road. Form favours the visitors, three wins and two draws in their last five, against five matches without a victory for the hosts. The Irish top flight runs at 2.72 goals per meeting. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
