Derry City vs KuPS Prediction 27 July 2023

Derry City take on the visitors KuPS in the first leg of UEFA Conference League qualification quarterfinals. The match will be played on Thursday, July 27^th at Brandywell Stadium (Derry).

Derry are currently in a good form, managing to secure a spot in the top 3 of their domestic league. They also started the European qualification on a productive note by defeating Torshavn 1-0 on aggregate in the first round. As for the upcoming match, the bookmakers are offering relatively equal odds for both teams, but the hosts are considered the favorites, which seems reasonable. KUPS has been struggling in the Finnish league recently, and with the additional load of the European qualifiers, they might find it challenging to cope. At the very least, the Irish team is capable of playing for a draw in this match.

KUPS only begin the qualification from the second stage, and they are not in great shape coming into this match. Over their last five matches, they managed only one victory, a close 4-3 win against Lahti. While KUPS may have some experience in European competitions, there is little confidence in the team, especially given their current struggles in the domestic league. As for the Irish team, they are not a formidable opponent, but Derry is currently on a good run, having tasted victory in the ongoing qualification after progressing through one round. Therefore, it is challenging to confidently label KUPS as the clear favorites in this match.

Overall, both teams are of a similar level, but at the moment, there is more belief in the success of the home team. The odds are significant for both the Irish and the Finns. Hence, to safeguard against a draw, the odds will still remain reasonably acceptable. Therefore, I would recommend placing a bet on "Derry 0" handicap, considering that the hosts will at least play for a draw in this match.

Prediction for the match: Derry City to win with 0.0 handicap.
