Drogheda United vs Sligo Rovers: the head-to-head
The latest chapter in the Drogheda United versus Sligo Rovers saga is a 2-2 draw, a result that underlines how hard it is to separate the two sides. Since 2022 the two clubs have met 19 times, a record that shows a perfectly balanced rivalry with 6 wins for Drogheda, 6 for Sligo and 7 stalemates. Across those fixtures 53 goals have been scored, giving an average of 2.79 goals per game. In 74% of the meetings at least two goals were scored, 58% saw three or more, and just over half the games saw both teams find the net. Drogheda have netted 29 goals to Sligo’s 24, a tally that reflects the slightly higher scoring output of the home side. When Drogheda play at home they win six of nine, draw two and lose one, whereas away they have yet to win, drawing five and losing five. The next clash is scheduled for 11 September 2026.
