Arguably Monday’s match of the day in the Irish Premier Division is the contest between Derry City and Sligo Rovers. Derry have had a good start to the season picking up four points from their first two games. Sligo have just played the one game so far due to their first match of the season being postponed due to bad weather and they will head to this match full of confidence after beating defending league champions Shamrock Rovers last time out.

Draw no bet

This is a fascinating contest between two teams who have gotten off to a fast start this season. The two teams are really closely matched and they only finished one place apart last year and were divided by just three points. It was Derry who had the better of the head to head last year, winning three of the four matches the teams contested, Sligo are without a win in 5 against Derry but the last five matches have seen two draws. It might be worth taking a chance here and at odds of 13/10 to back Sligo with draw no bet, it could be a good bet with a little bit of value in what is bound to be a competitive and tight affair.

Half time result

In a match between two evenly matched teams like this game is, we like the look of backing the half time result to be a draw. In matches like this the first half of games can be tight before opening up in the second. Although early in the season, neither side will want to lose and hand an advantage to the other, we think backing the halftime result to be a draw at evens could be a good play.

Derry to score over 1.5 goals

Derry have been in good goalscoring form this season and have found the back of the net four times in their two matches scoring two on two separate occasions. Derry to score over 1.5 goals is attractively priced at 7/5 and it might be a good bet considering the amount of good chances the home side are currently creating.
