Sligo Rovers to beat Bohemians in Irish top-flight

Sligo Rovers to beat Bohemians in Irish top-flight

On Friday night, Bohemians host Sligo Rovers in a big game in the Irish Premier Division.

Bohemians are currently just seventh-place in the Irish Premier Division, two points above their opponents and four points clear of the relegation play-off spot.

The home side has won just one of their last seven games in the Premier Division. The home side’s recent league games have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals, including their previous three outings.

Bohemians ended a six-game run without a home win last time out with a 1-0 win over St Patrick’s Athletic. The home sides recent home games in the league have been low scoring, as there has been under 2.5 goals scored in six of their last seven matches.

Sligo Rovers are currently eighth-place in the Ireland Premier League, just two points clear of the relegation play-off spot, but eight points clear of the relegation berth.

A recent poor run of form has not helped the away side’s position in the table, as they have won just two of their last nine league games. They have also suffered three defeats in their previous four matches.

A key factor in Sligo’s recent poor form has been their poor defensive displays, as the away side has conceded at least two goals in three of their last four outings.

Rovers recent away form in the Premier League has been poor, as they have won just two of their last seven games on their travels in the Irish top-flight. However, they have won two of their last three away games in the league, so they have shown signs of recovery on the road.

Forebet predicts that Sligo are set to record a victory in a low-scoring encounter to move up the table, which would leave the home side perilously near the relegation play-off spot.
