Sligo Rovers vs Longford Town - 21/05/2021
2367
On Friday night, Sligo Rovers host Longford Town at the Showgrounds in the Irish Premier Division, as the home team look to keep pace with the top teams in the division.
Sligo Rovers are currently third-place in the table and could move into second place if results go their way in Friday’s games.
Their recent league results have been slightly inconsistent, as they have won just once in their last four outings in the Irish Premier Division. However, that win came in their last league outing, as they recorded a 1-0 win at Dundalk.
Sligo Rovers’s recent league matches have certainly not been goal-filled, as seven of their last eight matches in the Irish top-flight have produced under 2.5 goals. That lack of goals in Rovers games may not be a major surprise, considering that no team has conceded fewer goals in the Premier Division this season.
Sligo have won just one of their previous five home games in the Irish top-flight, although three of those five games have finished all square.
Longford Town have struggled for results in recent months in the Irish Premier Division, picking up just seven points from their 11 league games this season, with their only win of the league season coming on the opening weekend of the season.
Since that victory, Rovers have failed to win in ten outings in the Irish Premier Division.
Last time out they suffered a 2-0 home defeat by Bohemians. The game saw Longford concede at least two goals for the third time in four league matches.
The visitors have won just one of their last 21 away games in the Irish Premier Division dating back to their previous spell in the top-flight in 2015/16.
Forebet predicts that things won’t be getting any better in the near future for Longford, with Sligo recording a victory in a low-scoring encounter.
