Football Bet of the Day: Candy might not taste so sweet

Underdogs can strike

Derry City v Finn Harps
Friday 27 May, 19:45

All three legs of our Bet Builder came in with room to spare in Norway last night. Molde won 2-1, and the corner count was a fair bit higher than we needed it to be.

We'll head to the Emerald Isle now, because the Irish Premier season continues apace, and slumping Derry City are in action against Finn Harps.

Derry City made a flying start to the season, and there was talk of the Candystripes making a genuine push for the title. However, they have faltered in recent weeks, claiming just two points from their last five matches. They have kept just two clean sheets in their last ten matches.

Finn Harps are second-bottom, and have lost their last four matches. However, for our purposes it's worth noting that they have managed to score in five of their last six away matches, and overall they have found the net in three of the last five.

Both teams have scored in six of these teams' last seven league meetings, and at 2.35/4, I'm happy to back that outcome again.
