Derry City to Win
With just two points collected from the last 27 on offer, Finn Harps are in the midst of a rotten run of form and the relegation candidates could suffer again when high-flying Derry City come to Ballybofey on Sunday. The Candystripes managed to win each of their last two away assignments and with their host’s confidence at a low ebb, City can be backed to record another victory on the road.
Both Teams to Score
While we expect Derry to eventually get the better of an out-of-sorts Finn Harps outfit, it’s worth pointing out that City are rarely given an easy ride by their less-illustrious opponents. Indeed, both teams found the net in each of the last seven Premier League meetings between the clubs and margins have been slim on each occasion. Two of those encounters took place earlier this season and goals at both ends are anticipated again in Ballybofey on Sunday.
