Derry City
Dundalk is on the brink of relegation.
Sitting bottom of the table with almost no chance to improve their ranking.
They need to win all three remaining matches to even have a chance to catch Drogheda.
But their form doesn't indicate that they are capable of doing that major leap.
They are on a negative streak of 10 games without a win.
Derry City is in a better position than the opponent today.
They are second placed and still in the title race for the Ireland Premier Division.
In terms of the form, they are also on a negative streak of 5 games without a win, but judging on their display throughout the season, we expect that streak to finish today.
What we say
Derry City to Win
With plenty still at stake, we expect Derry City to be determined and secure the crucial win against Dundalk, a team with little left to play for as they gradually prepare for the next campaign in Ireland’s Division 1.
We expect Patrick Hoban to shine in this one for Derry City; he has extra motivation on facing his ex-team.
