Derry City vs UCD Predictions and Top Betting Tips

Derry City vs UCD is a pre-decided match but the expectations are still high. Here are our predictions.

Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals

We definitely envision an over in this match in the case when UCD are the visitors. At home, they do not concede this many goals but on the road, they always have problems. And Derry City are back to their top form and won four of their last five matches in the league, in all of which they did not even score a goal. On the other side, UCD concede a couple of goals or more per game.

Team To Score in Both Halves: Derry City

We expect the hosts to win this game comfortably and it should be an easy one overall. They have a huge advantage over the visitors and we expect goals in both halves. They have nine wins in the last ten games against this opponent and we typically see goals early in the games too. Our second Derry City vs UCD prediction is the home team to score in both halves.

Correct Score Prediction: 3-0 to Derry City

We definitely do not think that UCD will score a goal in this match. The visitors barely score any goals in most of their matches while Derry City have the best defense you can wish for. They did not concede a goal in four out of their last five games. When we compare the Derry City vs UCD line ups, we see a huge advantage for the home team.

Derry City vs UCD: Team Analysis and Final Previews

Derry City Preview

Derry have been Shamrock's main rival over the past few seasons and they typically finish 2nd or 3rd. This was the case last season too and Derry finished 2nd in the league. They will definitely try to compete for the title this season but in order to do that, they need to stop dropping points against weaker teams like they did in a few of their recent games.

UCD Preview

We definitely believed that UCD will get relegated last season after a complicated campaign. But they had their good moments in the end and finished second-to-last, which put them in a relegation match against the 2nd in Division 1. They won it and we will be watching them in the elite once again. Anything better will be an improvement after last season but until now, it has been a disaster.
