Today, the match of the Irish Premier Division will take place, featuring Derry City and Waterford.
Derry City continues to demonstrate stability and competitiveness in the 2024 Premier Division season. Currently, the team is in 2nd place on the league table. Derry have shown remarkable form throughout the season, with 8 victories, 4 defeats, and 6 draws. This keeps the club among the championship leaders with 30 points and a goal difference of 25:16.
On 31 May, Derry City faced Dundalk in another Premier Division match. The encounter ended in a 0-0 draw, which was a disappointing result for both teams, especially considering their standings.
Waterford continues to display solid performance this season. Their latest match against Bohemians on 31 May further confirmed the team's combat readiness with a 2-1 victory. Midfielder Pattison opened the score in the 9th minute, putting the ball into the opponent's net. Bohemians Dublin quickly responded, with Rooney equalising in the 30th minute, making it 1-1.
However, the key moment came in the second half, when Amond scored in the 71st minute, securing a win for his team. This victory lifted Waterford to 6th place on the league table, with 22 points after 16 games (6 wins, 6 defeats, and 4 draws). It’s important to note that the team demonstrated decent form leading up to this match, winning 4 out of their last 5 games.
Waterford is rapidly moving towards the top-4, thanks to 4 victories in May matches – a result unmatched by any other team in the league. Meanwhile, Derry has been struggling, unable to secure a win in their last 3 matches. My bet is on a positive handicap for the guests.
