Derry City and Sligo Rovers set to end all square
3417

On Friday night, Derry City and Sligo Rovers go head-to-head at the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium, in the penultimate round of fixtures in the Irish Premier Division.

Derry City are currently fifth-place in the table heading into this clash, knowing that the highest position in the table that they can achieve this season is fourth-place. A recent poor run of league form has ended their chances of claiming a European place for next season.

A 1-1 draw at Finn Harps last time out was their fourth straight winless game in the Irish top-flight.

The draw means that the home team were eight points adrift of their third-place visitors, with just six points left to play for this season.

The result last time out means that they have drawn their previous three matches in the Irish top-flight.

One positive of late for City has been their recent home form, as they are unbeaten in six league matches on home soil, having recorded four wins in the process.

Sligo Rovers have already sealed third place in the Irish top-flight and a place in the Europa Conference League qualifiers for next season.

The visitors could still finish second in the table, as they are four points behind the current occupants of the position, St Patricks Dublin.

In truth, it would not matter much in the grand scheme of things, as second-place only earns a spot in the same European competition for next season.

Sligo Rovers have been in good league form of late, as they are unbeaten in their previous four outings, having recorded three straight victories. They have also been potent in front of goal in the run, scoring at least two goals in three of their last four league matches.

Forebet predicts that this clash will produce a tight encounter, ending in a low-scoring draw.
