Dundalk vs Derry City Predictions

• Dundalk have scored seven in last five
• Derry have failed to win in their last five
• Dundalk are four points clear of Derry with a game in hand

Dundalk can seal home win in comfortable fashion 

Dundalk  host Derry City. in a meeting between two out-of-form sides. The hosts have managed just one win in their last five matches, but they have at least continued to find the net regularly, scoring seven goals across that spell and showing they still carry plenty of firepower in forward areas.

Meanwhile Derry City are enduring an even tougher run, failing to win any of their last five league games, although four of those have ended in draws. Defensive issues on the road remain a concern, with the visitors conceding in each of their last five away fixtures, something that could again leave them vulnerable here.

While neither side arrives in strong form overall, Dundalk’s willingness to attack and their recent goal output could prove decisive. If they maintain the same intensity in the final third, they look capable of scoring a couple on route to three points.

Dundalk have scored two against Derry twice this season, and can do so again here. Derry have been struggling for goals of late, so a 2-0 win to the home side is worth a small play
