Premier Division Ireland
Game Prediction
In the 20th round of the Irish Premier Division, on June 20, 2025, a match will take place between Drogheda and Sligo Rovers. The home side, who have made significant progress this season, are fighting for the top spots and are expected to win.
Our Prediction for Drogheda vs Sligo Rovers
The club from "Ankie Dorris Park" could have been playing in the second tier of Irish football again this season given how poor they were in 2024. But, firstly, Dundalk proved to be hopeless and were relegated directly; secondly, Drogheda managed to beat Bray Wanderers in the play-off and stay in the Premiership. The current visitors, meanwhile, finished in a comfortable sixth position with 49 points at that time.
Everything has changed for John Russell's side, and not for the better. The team has dropped to the bottom of the table, losing most of their matches. In the previous round, however, they grabbed an important win against Waterford. The hosts, on the other hand, have improved and started among the league leaders. Since mid-spring, they have only managed a few wins, although they have not lost often either. But Shamrock did defeat them last time out.
Kevin Doherty’s team averages 1.24 goals per game, conceding a quarter less—exactly one per match. For their current visitors, the balance is noticeably negative: 1.21 goals scored per game, but as many as 1.79 goals conceded per match.
