Dundalk Derry City betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Given the above, the possibility of a game with a few goals is very high. Dundalk should push Derry to its midfield, dominating possession and creating the best chances for goals. On the other hand, the away team should choose to counter-attack, a transition in which it usually creates great opportunities. In this way, it is interesting to risk in a game with goals.
