Model CS-3Methodology

Match analysis

Derry City's attack rating of 3.3 out of 10 is the softest number on this fixture list, and it sits behind Superior's Goals: Under 3.5 pick at 1.29 for their trip to Bohemians on 21 August. It is priced with 72 percent confidence, coming off two goalless European exits to HNK Rijeka last month.

Derry's attack rating sits at 3.3 out of 10

That number follows a run in which Derry failed to score in either leg of their European qualifier against HNK Rijeka, losing 0-1 both times before their campaign ended. Bohemians carry a healthier 6.7 attack and 6.5 defence rating, and while their own recent scoreline includes a 4-0 win over Longford Town, they have also been held to single goals in three of their last five matches. A combined 3.5-goal ceiling asks for restraint from at least one side, and Derry's own numbers suggest that is more likely to come from them.

June's meeting alone was worth five goals

These two sides last met in June, when Derry won 4-1, five goals in total and comfortably beyond this exact line. That result sits alongside a 3-4 shootout from September, so when this fixture does open up, it has tended to open up in a hurry rather than settling for a low-scoring finish.
