UC Dublin take on the visitors Derry City in the round 21 match of Irish Premier Division. The match will be played on Friday, June 24th at UCD Bowl (Dublin).
Dublin in the current season has taken a place as the main underdogs of the championship. Already now we can safely say that the team will not be able to rise above the 9th place out of 10 possible as a result, since the gap from higher positions has formed as much as 12 points. Dublin is trying to somehow periodically cling to points at least with the help of draws, but with one victory in 19 matches played, much cannot be achieved for sure. Also, the situation in the capital is very sad in terms of performance, they have only scored 12 goals in 19 matches, but they have already conceded 40. Obviously, the team feels very uncomfortable in the elite division of Irish football, and it seems that it will be extremely difficult for them to avoid returning to the first division. As for the matches between Dublin and Derry, everything is very sad for the capitals, this season the teams have already crossed paths twice, and in total Dublin lost to Derry with a score of 1:9.

Derry is now very handy to have a duel with the league's main outsider. Since the team ended up in a series that is extremely unpleasant for itself, and for the past 6 rounds, draws and defeats have been alternating. Although even before this disastrous segment, Derry was very close to the first position, and really claimed the title. Now the championship ambitions of the "red-white" can be put aside, and you need to keep at least the current 3rd place. It is also worth noting the fact that Derry is now ranked first in the league in terms of points taken in away matches, and the upcoming match should only be in favor of the “red-whites”.
The bookmakers here have no doubts about the victory of the visitors at all, and put up odds for Derry only (1.25). We will fully support such a message of bookmakers here, and indeed City's poor streak should finally end. Well, considering how easily and simply Derry dealt with Dublin in previous head-to-head matches of this season, even now the “red-whites” are capable of winning a couple of goals.
Prediction for the match: Derry city to win with -1.0 handicap.
