Sligo Rovers vs Waterford: the head-to-head

Sligo Rovers and Waterford’s recent head-to-head is a tale of fine margins, with a 12-meeting record that began in 2024. The split reads six victories for Sligo, four for Waterford and two draws, while the aggregate goals tally 28, giving an average of 2.33 goals per game. In just over half of these encounters (58%) there were at least two goals, and 42% saw three or more, yet only a quarter (25%) produced goals from both sides. The latest clash, a goalless draw on 21 August 2026, ended 0-0. Sligo’s 15 goals are only slightly ahead of Waterford’s 13, and the home-and-away records are identical, each side winning three times, drawing once and losing twice. With no forthcoming fixture announced, the next meeting remains uncertain.
