Dundalk – Sligo Rovers

In 4 meetings between Dundalk and Sligo Rovers, Dundalk have been the more successful side, winning 1 to 1 with 2 draws along the way. The record leans firmly in one direction, but in a rivalry like this one head-to-head form rarely tells the full story once the game kicks off. The numbers suggest an entertaining watch: 1.8 goals per match on average, 0% of encounters going beyond two and a half, and both teams scoring in 50% of them. The pattern has been fairly consistent across the sample above. Where the game is played has mattered. Dundalk hold 1-1-0 as hosts in this fixture, and Sligo Rovers show 1-1-0 at home, underlining how much home comfort can tilt an otherwise close rivalry one way or the other. Current form reads clearly enough: Dundalk have 0 wins in their last 5, scoring 1 each time out, and Sligo Rovers have 0 from 5, netting 0.6 on average. Momentum like that can quickly override what the historical numbers suggest. Broken down, that leaves Dundalk winning around 25% of the time, 50% ending level and Sligo Rovers on about 25%. The balance gives one side the edge, but enough draws and surprises to keep it interesting. The last time these teams met, on 17.10.2026, the game ended Sligo Rovers 1–1 Dundalk, and that scoreline still shapes how the fixture is viewed. A new date is yet to be confirmed, leaving that result as the freshest reference point.
