Best Tip: Both teams to score

After looking at the KickOff match predictions, bookmakers' odds and relevant statistics, there's one market that seems hard to ignore for this meeting: both teams to score. In Derry and Sligo we have two sides going head-to-head that regularly score, but equally have trouble shutting the opposition out, and we expect them to show themselves again on Tuesday evening. BTTS – yes best odds: 1.95.
