Sligo Rovers v Waterford FC : Premier Division match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sat 14th Jun, 19:45 BST, The Showgrounds, Newry

Home advantage makes a difference in the Premier Division, and John Russell’s Sligo Rovers will have the blessing of it on Saturday evening. John Coleman’s Waterford FC are their visitors to The Showgrounds. The aim of this preview is, quite simply, to help you make the smartest bet possible. To this end, statistics for seventeen major betting market have been published below, with head to head (H2H) records and statistically significant form streaks highlighted. Odds from the UK's biggest bookmakers are also given.

Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest we don't have an obvious winner in this fixture, but the evidence does point towards the conclusion that Sligo and Waterford will find the net twice at least between them. Goals have flowed freely when they've gone head-to-head historically, and neither John Russell or Keith Long has served up too many 0-0s recently either. The bookies are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with best odds of 1.25 equating to roughly a 75% probability.

An away win looks like the most likely outcome in the win/draw/win market, with our predictive algorithm suggesting there’s a 39% chance of Waterford coming away with a win.
