A 1-0 win over fellow relegation contenders Finn Harps undoubtedly gave UC Dublin a lot of confidence and encouragement.
However, their recent 11-0 loss in a friendly to Portsmouth is unlikely to have helped their preparations for this massive clash with Derry City.
While Derry are still a bit off the chase for third, they are unbeaten in six games meaning they will no doubt be the big favourites.
The bookmakers have priced the hosts up at 1/7 meaning there is certainly no value in the outright market; unless, of course, you decide to back the visitors.
With the Dublin outfit in horrific form, we cannot make them the recommendation. Therefore, the advice is to back the hosts in the handicap market. Derry minus two goals is priced at 6/4 which isn’t a bad offer for an expected one-sided affair.
