- Venue: UCD Bowl (Dublin)
UCD have a catastrophic year. They are far below the adequate level with only ten points from 28 league matches. UCD are 17 points behind the next on the table and will hardly avoid relegation. UCD are in a bad moment with three defeats in a row. In the last game, UCD lost 3-0 on the road versus Drogheda. After so many bad results, UCD's confidence has to be really low, so we shouldn't expect too much from them.
Derry City are one of the best Irish teams right now. They are seven points behind the league leader, Shamrock Rovers, but with one game fewer played, so if Derry City wins against UCD on Wednesday, they will close the gap to only four points. Derry City are playing well right now with only one defeat in the last five matches in all competitions. In the previous game, they won 3-1 on the road against Dundalk. It was far from an ideal game as the home side had 72% ball possession and 19 shots on the goal, but the guests pulled out a win.
UCD vs Derry City pick: Derry City to win and cover AH -2 spread
UCD and Derry City had two h2h matches this season. In both games, Derry City easily won. It was 4-0 and 4-1. Derry City a much better team, so I expect them to dominate in the next game too.
