Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 20/21 @ 888sport

In a contest between two sides who have their sights set on trying to break into the top-half of the Premier Division table, Dundalk will host Derry City on Friday night.

Starting with the hosts, managing to make a return to winning ways last time out, Dundalk are still a side who are really trying to find some stability. In their 17 Premier Division matchups so far this season, they have recorded five wins, six draws and six defeats, scoring 21 and conceding 23 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 21, the former Irish champions sit down in seventh and four points adrift of breaking into the top-half of the table. As for their recent run of results, managing to land a much-needed victory against Drogheda United on the road last time out, Dundalk recorded just their third victory in their last nine Premier Division contests. Also, along with recording just a single win on home soil in their last four attempts, Friday’s hosts have seen five of their last seven top-flight fixtures finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, picking up what was an impressive point last time out, Derry City have continued on what has been quite the purple patch over the past seven weeks. In their 17 Premier Division matchups so far this season, they have recorded five wins, seven draws and five defeats, scoring 18 and conceding 21 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 22, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat sixth in the table and now just three points adrift of breaking into the top-half. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 1-1 draw against European contenders Sligo Rovers on home soil, Derry are unbeaten in each of their last eight straight Premier Division matchups. However, it should be noted, with each of their last five matchups ending with both teams finding the net, along with nine of their last 10 top-flight fixtures, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
