Goal Statistics

Goals have been difficult to come by for Sligo Rovers of late. It has been 8 Premier Division games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.3 suggests they'll have problems ending that run on Friday evening against Derry City.

Derry City's fans will be hoping for goals on Friday evening, not least because Sligo Rovers have conceded in each of their last 5 Premier Division matches. A PG of 1.5 for T. Lynch's side suggests that run should continue.
