Derry City manager Ruaidhrí Higgins will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Sligo Rovers.  They came away from that fixture with 51% of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Sligo Rovers managed 7 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.  

Higgins will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 1 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 6 goals.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches overall.  

Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 12 games in a row.

The St. Patrick's Athletic squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 home defeat against Bohemian FC, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.  They achieved 53% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Bohemian FC's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.  

While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 4, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 6 goals and some valuable points in the process.  In their last 6 away games, they have scored in 5 and kept a clean sheet in 4.  

With 4 wins from their last 6 away matches, they have put together an impressive run of form away from home recently.  

Joe Redmond will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Derry City in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for St. Patrick's Athletic.
