Derry City vs Finn Harps tips and predictions

Derry City winning mentality makes them so hard to oppose

On 61 points Derry City host Finn Harps, on 19 points. There's 7 positions separating the two Premier Division clubs.

This preview thinks that Derry City are different gravy compared to Finn Harps and even if it doesn't sound attractive, the short price still represents the value. It matters not if they produce their best form. This should be in the bag for them.

Few would argue with the idea that Derry City have, at times, looked like a prodigious outfit. The hosts have had 6 wins in their last 7 matches while the visitors have been defeated in 14 of their last 19 matches, away and at home. Their hopes might be destroyed here too.

There's been a lot of excited rhetoric surrounding the home side's defence. Understandably; these have been effective tactics - the strategies are working. They've only conceded 4 goals in their last 12 games, both home and away. Conversely, the away team has been looking vulnerable under pressure. On the road Finn Harps have conceded two or more goals in all of their last 11 campaigns.

The betting markets suggest that at least one of these sides will keep a clean sheet due to the overwhelming favouritism for Derry City. However, with the odds-against BTTS Yes price available that's probably the more interesting of those markets.
