Why we like this pick
Sligo Rovers +1.25: Derry have won by 2 or more goals in just 3 of their last 20 games. They are five days off a tie at St Pat's, with their European exit the week before. Sligo sit bottom and struggle to score away, but they keep games close and tied their last two. We expect a narrow 1-0 Derry win.
