Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

There's 74% chance of Sligo and Derry no more than 3 goals combined during this Premier Division fixture according to our predictive algorithm and, without a strong favourite in the WDW market, we think that's a great tip here. Our calculations are made based on 20-game form, historical head-to-head (H2H) stats and the view of the betting market, and you can get it at top odds of 1.25.
