"Derry have delivered Under 2.5 Goals in 10/14 on home turf since the start of term"

Back Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.784/5 in Derry Bray

Tobias Gourlay expects one of tonight's Irish Premier League games to be Derry dull

Derry v Bray
Friday 19:45

Hungary 2 Faroe Islands 1 in Budapest last night. As we thought, there was no feasting on the Faroes, but the minnows themselves got in on the action and that brought our bet down.

After 29 rounds of the Irish Premier League, Derry City and Bray are uncomfortable in mid-table. With four games to go, there are three teams between them and the drop zone but, in Derry's case, only two points. Bray are a couple of points better off, but could still really use all three tonight.

With lots still to lose for both clubs, we're expecting a tight one tonight. Since 2011 5/7 of their meetings in Derry have finished with Under 2.5 Goals.

Bray, who have failed to score on any of their last four visits to Brandywell Stadium, have seen Under 2.5 Goals in 7/8 away games - in which they've been shut out themselves in 5/8.

Derry have delivered Under 2.5 Goals in 10/14 on home turf since the start of term. Recently, they've logged clean sheets in 3/5, while failing to score themselves in the same fraction.

Should be a corker.
