Derry City v B36 Torshavn

Derry City vs HB Torshavn Preview

A 0-0 draw in last week's 1st leg of this 1st Qualifying Round of the UEFA Conference League clash between Derry City and HB Torshavn extended the Irish hosts' unbeaten run to three games in all competitions and the home side will be looking to go one step better on Thursday night at their Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium.

Derry City held out for a goalless draw in last week's 1st leg which was a solid result for Ruaidri Higgins' side considering they have failed to win any of their last five away games along with losing three of these games, but they will now be seeking to turn the screw on their Faroe Islands visitors in this return leg.

The bigger picture certainly looks an encouraging one for the hosts as Derry City have lost only three of their last 13 matches in all competitions, all of which were inflicted upon them away from home while results on home soil have seen Derry City slip to just three losses in their last 16 home games in all competitions.

HB Torshavn now face a tough trip to Ireland to face Derry City in this 2nd leg tie after failing to make the most of home advantage in last week's 0-0 draw at Gundadalur which also extended the visitors' winless run in all competitions to four matches.

Two defeats in the shape of losses away from home at 07 Vestur and Klaksvikar in the Faroe Islands Meistaradeildin have overshadowed the other two draws with 07 Vestur and Derry City and also do not bode well for this upcoming trip to the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium either.

Overall, HB Torshavn have lost just three of their last 21 matches which includes no fewer than 15 wins in the process but having lost two of their last three games on their outings, HB Torshavn look to have their work cut out against an in-form Derry City unit, especially in their own backyard.

In addition, HB Torshavn have been handed defeats in their last two away games in the UEFA Conference League which have come in the form of defeats at Maccabi Haifa 7-2 and a 2-1 loss at Welsh side, Newtown respectively.

Derry City v HB Torshavn Verdict

Derry City are unbeaten in their last six home games across all competitions and the hosts have picked up four wins within this period which should stand the hosts in good stead for this return leg where they'll be looking to progress into the next round of the qualifying stage of this competition.

Therefore, our main bet will be Derry City win @ 1.72

Other side bets worth considering:

Derry City win & Under 2.5 goals @ 2.87

Correct score: Derry City 1-0 @ 5.00
