Dergview vs Ballyclare Prediction & Betting Tips (12 March)

Few people expected Dergview to be battling against relegation, but that is the reality facing a team that has suffered ten defeats in 11 games recently, not to mention the fact that they have triumphed only once at home all season. For their part, title-chasing Ballyclare have recorded seven victories in their most recent ten NIFL Championship matches.

Ballyclare have been in incredible form recently, collecting some points from a possible 27, and it is noticeable that all nine of their matches during this period have served up three goals or fewer. The same is true of each of the most recent nine Dergview home games at this level, so it would come as a major surprise were this key battle not to serve up under 3.5 goals.

When Ballyclare come calling, excitement doesn’t tend to follow, with six of their previous seven away games at the top table of the NIFL Championship seeing at least one of the two goalkeepers emerge with a clean sheet. What’s more, eight of the last nine Dergview home matches at this level, including six in a row recently, have followed the same pattern.
