Derry City VS Dundalk

Derry City host Dundalk at Brandywell Stadium for this Irish Premier Division game early Monday morning Beijing time. This is the 36th – and round of this league. It is a low-level league by European standards but my fans have achieved great success betting on this league - and Irish football in general! Once again I am positive we have a lucrative match to bet on here! The hosts currently occupy the 2nd place in this league with a total of 10 teams and have 66 points to their account. They have a goal difference of 53:26. The visitors, in the other hand, currently occupy the third place. The have grabbed 63 points so far. Their score difference is 52:30. Neither team have anything to play for left anymore this season. Theoretically the visitors could topple Derry City though as If teams finish on equal points at the end of the season, score difference will be the tie-breaker. To do this though should to a very clear win which is extremely unlikely. Both teams have qualified for the UEFA Conference League qualification. I expect and open and attacking game here. Let's hope it will also be an entertaining one – at least by Irish standards.. In this kind of situation the home team often has a much bigger chance of winning than in a normal match with a lot at stake. Indeed, Particularly in the United Kingdom and Ireland winning the last home game is almost always an big thing. It is sort of a ”thank you” for the loyal for fans for the support during season.

Derry City are the stronger team all areas of the game and are very clear favorites here. Especially their defense is much more solid than the visitors. The difference is bigger than the number of conceded goals 26 and 30 would reflect. Derry City have lost just one of their latest 15 matches and this happened a week ago when they visited the best team in this league, Shamrock Rovers. The match could have gone either way – both teams had their chances and the ball possession was 50-50%.I liked the way Derry fought against top opposition in this match! Dundalk have lost three of their latest 10 matches and are not in great for really. I would not be at all surprised to see both teams' coaches to rotate their squad here offering especially the young, promising players a chance to shine. Even so, I expect the hosts' coach to field many more players from the regular starting eleven than Dundalks manager. Let's also keep in mind that Derry City also have a bigger number of good players to choose from..
