Sligo to Win to Nil
UCD have found the step up in quality tough to breach since their promotion and the Students sit rock bottom of the Premier Division after eight games. Andrew Myler’s strugglers lost to nil in three of their last four assignments and a similar outcome looks possible against a Sligo side that has shipped just six goals in eight fixtures since the onset of the new campaign. Rovers are searching for their fourth victory of the season and they should be comfortable winners here.
Correct Score – Sligo 2-0 UCD
We’ve settled on a bigger price option for our second prediction this week, where we recommend backing Sligo at 2-0 in the correct score market. UCD have lost three of their last four matches in the Premier Division and each of those defeats finished 2-0 in their opponents’ favour. Rovers have already notched at least twice in 50% of their league tussles this term, so this one could be a small stake pocket filler.
Aidan Keena to Score Anytime
Sligo striker Aidan Keena is the early front runner in the race for the Golden Boot in the Premier Division and the recent signing has hit five goals in his first seven appearances for his new employers. On Saturday, the 22-year-old will be taking aim against a UCD side that are leaking plenty of goals and Keena should be able to add to his impressive early haul.
Sligo Rovers vs UCD Match Preview and Team News
Sligo Rovers
Sligo have a clean bill of health this week giving manager Liam Buckley a decision or two to make in a few different positions. Sligo were beaten 1-0 at home by Bohemians on Tuesday evening, though Rovers have a huge chance to bounce back straight away against struggling UCD.
UCD
Midfielder Harvey O’Brien is out injured for UCD, though Head Coach Andrew Myler has a strong squad to choose from elsewhere. The Students were no match for leaders Derry City on Monday evening and their 2-0 loss to the Candystripes was their fourth in five games. Worryingly, UCD have scored just three times in eight skirmishes since their promotion.
