Waterford managed to win one victory over Derry City in the current season. But now the visitors show very weak results and concede a large number of goals. Derry City also cannot boast of great success, but the team has a pretty confident defense. We expect the hosts to win in the upcoming match, but it won’t be superfluous to insure them with a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: Derry City to win with 0.0 handicap
