Longford vs Sligo Rovers Predictions

• Longford Town have won just one of their 18 league games this term, losing 11.
• The hosts are winless in their last eight starts at Bishopsgate, drawing two and losing six.
• Sligo have lost just one of their nine away trips this season, winning six.

Rovers to run over sorry Longford

Third placed Sligo Rovers hold the best away record in the League of Ireland Premier Division and Liam Buckley’s side should make light work of rock bottom Longford on Saturday night.

After a 0-1 success here in April, Sligo were more comfortable 2-0 winners in May’s fixture at The Showgrounds and we envisage this weekend’s clash going much the same way, with the visitors back on form after hammering Bohemians 4-0 last time out.

The Bit O’Red have lost just one of their nine outings on the road this season, winning six, and face a Town side on course for an immediate return to the second tier.

The hosts have won just one of their 18 league games this term, losing 11, and they’ve taken just two points from their last eight matches at Bishopsgate.

Daire Doyle’s men have managed to score in their last four games and could grab a consolation with Sligo conceding in all but of their last five starts, but Rovers should ultimately seal the points at a canter this weekend and we’re forecasting a 1-3 correct score.
