Sligo Rovers vs Viking FK Predictions

• Sligo lost just two of their last 12 home games within 90 minutes.
• Viking have a handy 5-1 aggregate lead and could rotate as a consequence.
• Viking failed to win six of their last eight competitive away games.

It’s too late for Sligo to fend off the Viking invasion

After a 5-1 thumping in the first leg, it would take a record breaking comeback in this second-leg clash for Sligo to progress in this Europa Conference League Qualifier, though they do at least have the virtue of having nothing to lose this time around.

Often solid at home, Sligo have only been defeated within 90 minutes by two of the last 12 visiting sides, a run which includes a win over Scottish Premiership side Motherwell. Such a result suggests that on a going day, Sligo can give Norwegian opponents Viking a run for their money.

Viking can take their foot off the gas

With more important fixtures coming up for Viking in the Norwegian Eliteserien, it is plausible that they will rotate the squad considerably for this clash as progression looks all but assured.

If the visitors were to lose this now, it would take a performance reminiscent of 2016/17 Barcelona vs PSG… simply once in a blue moon!

As we saw earlier in the week, Bodo/Glimt travelled away with a 5-0 lead, only to draw 1-1 against a ten-man Zalgiris, and that is a similar storyline as we predict will unfold here. We’re backing Sligo in the double chance market, although the 1-1 draw could be a smart play in the correct score market.
