Drogheda United vs Sligo Rovers Prediction 20.06.2025 | Ireland Premier Division

• Competition: Ireland Premier Division
• Date: Friday, 20th, June 2025
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CEST
• Venue: Weavers Park (Drogheda)

Friday’s League of Ireland Premier Division match at Weavers Park sees Drogheda United aiming to preserve their top-three position as they face off against lowly Sligo Rovers.

Although they drew first blood through Cooper just 210 seconds into the clash, Drogheda Utd ended up surrendering all three points to a superior Shamrock Rovers side, a result that puts their grip on third place in jeopardy as they now sit just three points clear of Derry City, with two more matches played.

For their part, Sligo Rovers have managed to steer themselves away from the foot of the table and close the gap to safety to eight points, as Wilson Waweru’s early first-half strike proved to be the difference-maker in securing a valuable win over Waterford and giving their supporters something to cheer about.

Drogheda United vs Sligo Rovers Betting Tips : DROGHEDA UTD TO WIN

With a daunting 11-point gap behind the table-toppers, Drogheda United are fully aware that their championship hopes are fading fast and they must quickly regroup to keep their grip on a podium position. Friday’s clash looks tailor-made for the home side to bounce back into form, given their impressive head-to-head record at Sulivan & Lambe Park where they’ve outplayed Sligo Rovers in five of the past six showdowns. Despite picking up a morale-boosting narrow win against Waterford in their latest battle, John Russell’s side still carry baggage from their struggles on the road, losing three of their previous four league trips and stumbling to six losses in nine away days this campaign. Currently mired in an unfavorable three-game winless run in the Irish top flight, the Drogs will look to capitalize on Sligo's struggles on the road and replicate their dominant showing from the reverse home fixture where they hammered the Rovers 3-0 as they aim to stay above the European qualification line.
