Both Teams To Score Prediction: Yes

Dundalk and Derry City often produce some of the best games in the season and we expect another good one here. Every single time they face at Dundalk's stadium, we see huge scorelines. Four of the last five games ended with over 2.5 goals. All five most recent ones ended with both teams scoring at least one goal. We definitely expect to see goals on both ends once again here.

Double Chance Prediction: Dundalk or Draw

We think that Dundalk will definitely not lose this match. Derry City are one of their toughest rivals but right now, the visitors are completely out of shape. They do not lose much but the majority of their games have been draws. Four of the last five away games were draws and they have not won on the road in eight games in a row. Dundalk, in turn, have not lost in 12 consecutive home matches.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-1 to Dundalk

This will be a very tough and competitive match and there is a good chance for a draw here due to Derry City's style. They do not concede a lot but they do not score a lot either. We think that 1-1 or 2-1 are the best scorelines for this match. When we compare the Dundalk vs Derry City line ups, we think that we have two fairly equal teams right now and neither has a clear advantage.

Dundalk vs Derry City Team Previews

Dundalk Preview

Dundalk have unfortunately not been consistent this season. They have several good rounds and then suddenly, several bad rounds in a row. There was a time when the team was one of the main contenders for Top 3 but right now, we think that they are further than any of the good teams in the league. Their attack has simply not been effective in the last couple of months.

Derry City Preview

Derry City have been incredible since the start of the season and they only suffered a defeat once in over a month. The team traditionally has one of the best defenses in the league and this year, this has been their trump card once again. It will be a long battle with the other top teams but with some success in attack, Derry City will have a good chance.
