Sligo Rovers vs St. Patricks tips and predictions

Result is not obvious in Premier Division clash; draw warrants consideration

There's not much between Sligo Rovers and St. Patricks in the Premier Division. The hosts are in eigth place with 14 points, compared to their opponents who are in fifth place on 18 points.

All results are in the runnning here. Do your due diligence before making your mind up. With both sides looking strong in defence, a goalless stalemate is the pick.

There have been some notable displays in defence by both sides. Creating something of a fortress at home, Sligo Rovers have conceded at an average of just 0.5 goals per game over their last 8 matches and St. Patricks have only conceded 0.8 goals per game on average in their last 8 away matches.

It would be bizarre to imply that the favourites are a lock here. Don't be surprised if the two sides cancel each other out in a war of attrition. It might not be a widespread opinion but the No BTTS option seems sensible. As far as the goal line is concerned, it's Under 1.5 standing out in this one considering the price that's available there.

Sligo Rovers have drawn 5 of their last 8 matches on their own soil. Further, St. Patricks have drawn 2 of their last 4 away games. It isn't very exciting and it feels like a match to sit on the fence about and so the draw is certainly food for thought. A stalemate is on the cards after what looks likely to be a close encounter.
