Derry City will host Sligo Rovers in Round 17 of the All-Ireland Championship. Will the guests be able to return to the winning path?
Derry City"
Derry City cannot find stability, but the results they are showing should in no way be disappointing - seven matches without defeat, of which three ended in a win and four in a draw. The defeat to Finn Harps (1-2) in the ninth round remains the only one in the last 12 matches. "Derry City" has already scored 21 points, thanks to which it is located in sixth place.
Sligo Rovers"
From the end of April to the end of May, Sligo Rovers performed almost perfectly, not allowing a single defeat during this period. In seven matches, we managed to achieve five wins with two draws. Such a powerful breakthrough led to the fact that Sligo Rovers broke into the top three and were three points away from the first position. However, in two extreme matches, Sligo Rovers were unexpectedly left without points: first they lost 1-2 to Drogheda United, and then 0-2 to St. Patrick's Athletic.
Statistics and figures:
- Derry City have not lost in seven rounds;
- Sligo Rovers have lost in the last two rounds;
- Derry City have beaten Sligo Rovers in one of their last four games.
Forecast
"Sligo Rovers" made two misfires in a row, so in the upcoming meeting will do everything to improve and open a new winning streak. Derry City rarely lose, but concede consistently.
