Waterford Derry City betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This clash puts face-to-face teams that occupy the top half of the league table, but Waterford is more organized at different moments of the match. In this way, we believe that this will be a very balanced game, with few real danger throws, with the defenses being superior to the respective attacks. Having said this, betting in favor of a game with few goals is of enormous value.

In the last match, they lost in an away match against Dundalk, by (2‑0). This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses in away matches; against 10 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss at their stadium.

The most recurrent final score in their home league matches was the 2‑1 (4 out of 9 matches).

Waterford started the Irish championship at all steam, however, dropped of income and currently adds four games in a row without winning. We remember that the home team lost to Dundalk by 2-0. Despite the bad moment, coach Alan Reynolds is expected to play in 4-4-2 privileging possession football and organized bouts, mainly through the runners. On the other hand, Courtney Duffus is the player who stands out so far with 9 goals scored. It is important to point out that the local team has only one defeat in its stadium: a 3-6 loss against Limerick. For this game the coach counts on all his players.
