Sligo Rovers hosts Drogheda United in round 15 of the Irish Premier Division. The match will be played on Saturday, June 12th at Showgrounds (Sligo)
Sligo Rovers made some noise about a dozen years ago. The Reds won a couple of cups and, most importantly, became the champion in 2012 (for the first time in 3.5 decades). This result has not been repeated since then, but maybe now will be time for a breakthrough? The team that finished 4th last season makes mistakes in the current season too. But it managed to gain good momentum in May. Now Sligo Rovers is on a streak of five victories in a row. However, the last round was not easy. Finn Harps kept a draw for a long time, but the Reds managed to win 2-1 and saved 1st place.

Drogheda United was the champion of the country in 2007. Then the team was remembered for the fact that it almost knocked out Dynamo Kyiv in the Champions League qualification. In the following years, the Turks took 2nd place and played in the cup finals (and even won the trophy in 2013). But the fall continued, and Drogheda United lost their place in the elite division. And the Turks managed to return only last year, winning the local First League. Initially, the experts did not expect much from the newcomer. But the team started the championship with a victory, even though the opponent was the modest Waterford United. And in May, Drogheda United managed to show a great streak of four victories in a row. Only Derry City was able to stop Drogheda in the last match in May, having won away thanks to Patching's double. But even after this misfire, the Turks maintain a high 4th place. Moreover, they managed to score 22 points in 14 rounds.
Draws were recorded in four consecutive head-to-head matches of these teams. In the current season, they played for the first time since 2017, and the game ended in a 1-1 draw either. Drogheda United looks good, but it seems that its peak is already behind. Sligo Rovers is clearly intent on retaining 1st place and is aiming for three points. We bet on the home team to win.
Prediction for the match: Sligo Rovers to win
