It's a long trek for John Russell's Sligo Rovers side on Monday evening, as they make their way to the Brandywell Stadium for a Premier Division tie with Ruaidhri Higgins's Derry City. All statistics, including each side's 20 game form and head to head (H2H) history, will update as you browse each of the betting markets using the tabs below. Odds from the UK's biggest bookmakers and, of course, our algorithmic predictions will too.

Best Tip: Derry to win

A Premier Division win on home turf for Ruaidhri Higgins's Derry team win in the win / draw / win market is what we're predicting. Stats suggest they have what it takes, and they should be too strong for their opponents. The odds from the bookmakers suggest the same, and when that happens you've got reason to feel confident. A Derry win is the bet we'd suggest, but it could be a close one.
