APWin Prediction

Derry City Win

APWin experts have analyzed the main betting markets and selected high-value bets.

👉 Our prediction is: under 9.5 corners

Our top betting tip for Derry City vs Shelbourne is to take under 9.5 corners on the corners market. We see great value in this market compared to more popular betting markets, which you can capitalise upon.

Our analysis shows a low likelihood of high-level attacking play between the two sides, so there is a strong chance that the under will come in well below the maximum of 9 corners needed to win the bet.

👉 Our prediction is: Derry City win or draw

The match is an evenly balanced affair with very little difference between the two sides. But the added benefit of home advantage is enough to tilt the scales in Derry City's favour.

We recommend betting on Derry City to win or draw on the Double Chance market. Since they will be playing in front of their home fans, that should give them that extra boost they need to avoid defeat, which is the only condition to win the bet.
