Derry, who are located in the Northern Ireland do play in the league of Republic of Ireland due historical reasons.
Classwise both leagues are weak, but the league where Derry is playing is going on, they have played 25 rounds, and as Derrby also already played one round in this competition and beat HB Torshavn by 1-0 they are well-prepared! Derry were better in both legs according to live betting data.
Normally I would not be too interested in these clubs, but the top teams of Irish league are competitive in Europe at this stage, although both Shamrock at St Patrick lost their first-round matches, Dundalk did with over a club from Gibraltar.
In all competitions, Derry are 7-2-1 at home in all competitions, and over the weekend they won a cup game by 3-0 showing good form.
But now to the key factors for this pick:
KuPS miss two key midfielders Veteli and Popovich due to injuries, but yesterday they were hit by a big blow as the club management had failed to get visas for their African players, and thus 3 starters from the defense line - arguably the best 3 players in the team - are not in the squad who travelled to Northern Ireland! There are a couple of attacking new signings at KuPS, but now the defense is built from the bench players, and this match seems extremely difficult for the KuPS side who will also lose top midfielder Urho Nissilä after this first leg. Coach Honkavaara has a lot to think about. In the picture below he is giving advice to winger Jasse Tuominen.
Ibrahim Cisse, Collins Sichenje and Clinton Antwi are the Africans that are missing from the squad!
Derry play at artificial ground, but the reports from KuPS camp say that it is totally different than the one they have at home. The ball is also a new one for KuPS and acts differently, so the home advantage is rather strong.
There are also a few individual players at Derry who can decide this on their own;
New signing Paul McMullan from Dundee FC: is a 27 yo winger with strong technique on the right side,
Michael Duffy is one of Derry's own who returns from Scotland. Left winger who is strong on 1-on-1 situations and can produce excellent crosses into the box. Set-piece specialist.
Englishman Sadou Diallo comes from Manchester City Academy until he was U23 ikään asti, very strong holding midfielder.

由于历史原因，位于北爱尔兰的德里队确实参加了爱尔兰共和国联赛。
从传统意义上来说，这两个联赛都很弱，但德里所在的联赛正在进行中，他们已经打了25轮，而且德比也已经在这个比赛中打了一轮，并以1-0击败了托尔沙文，他们做好了充分的准备!根据现场*数据，德里在两回合比赛中都表现更好。
通常我不会对这些俱乐部太感兴趣，但爱尔兰联赛的顶级球队在这个阶段在欧洲很有竞争力，尽管圣帕特里克的三叶草都输掉了首轮比赛，但邓多克却击败了直布罗陀的一支俱乐部。
在所有的比赛中，德里在主场的战绩是7胜2负，周末他们以3比0的比分赢得了一场杯赛，表现出了良好的状态。
现在来看看这个选择的关键因素:
由于伤病，卡普斯失去了两名关键中场维特利和波波维奇，但昨天他们受到了沉重的打击，因为俱乐部管理层未能为他们的非洲球员获得签证，因此防线上的3名首发球员——可以说是球队中最好的3名球员——没有出现在前往北爱尔兰的大名单中!虽然有几名攻击型新援加盟，但现在的防线是由替补球员组成的，对于首回合将失去顶级中场乌尔霍Nissilä的球队来说，这场比赛似乎非常困难。Honkavaara教练有很多事情要考虑。在下面的图片中，他正在给边锋贾西·托米宁提供建议。
易卜拉欣·西塞、柯林斯·西亨杰和克林顿·安特维是缺席阵容的非洲人!
德里在人造场地比赛，但来自卡普斯营地的报道称，这与他们在家里的比赛完全不同。球也是一个新的向上和不同的作用，所以主场优势是相当强。
在德里也有一些个人球员可以自己决定。
从邓迪俱乐部新签的保罗·麦克马伦:是一名27岁左右的边锋，在右路有很强的技术。
迈克尔·达菲(Michael Duffy)是从苏格兰回来的德里自己人。左路边锋，在1对1的情况下很强，可以在禁区内制造出色的传中。的专家。
英国人萨杜·迪亚洛来自曼城青训，直到他成为U23 ikään阿斯提，非常强大的控球中场。
