Waterford vs Sligo Rovers tips and predictions

Intriguing clash in Premier Division

With only 1 point between them it's fourth placed Waterford versus third placed Sligo Rovers in this Premier Division clash.

Sligo Rovers will be confident of the win. Their price doesn't represent any great value though. This preview describes the recent goal scoring records of each side in order to make the best value prediction; which is the away win. Legitimate shots on target will likely be rare in a well-fought contest.

The hosts can be beaten. Waterford's tendency to lose their shape has caused them a few concerns. They have conceded at least once in all of their last 5 home matches which is a number that will resonate with supporters of the visiting side. Waterford's recent performances could be important. They've been goalless in 2 of their last 3 games which no one will be calling exceptional.

If the visitors are on form they should be the side celebrating after ninety minutes. Sligo Rovers have won 2 of their last 3 campaigns. Their impressive displays when facing pressure could be significant in this clash. They have conceded only 2 goals during their latest 5 games.

The clash does have an anything could happen feel about it though. So don't rule out the stalemate. It would be crazy to suggest that the favourites are a banker here. It's possible that the two sides cancel each other out over an attritional ninety minutes. It is not the best value available in today's previews but the No BTTS bet seems to be the best option there.
