Derry City, Recent FormThe 2-1 away defeat to Bohemian FC will not have sat easily with the Derry City squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They achieved 62% possession in that match and had 17 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Bohemian FC's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Ruaidhrí Higgins will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 10 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 6 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 14 games in a row.
With 6 goals scored in Derry City's last 6 outings in the league, Patrick Hoban has shown a great run of form in finding the back of the net.
Galway United, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Galway United players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Shamrock Rovers. They came away from that fixture with a 28% share of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 1 on target, in comparison to Shamrock Rovers, who managed 17 attempts on goal, 6 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 4 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 4 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games.
They have had a good run of form away from home recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 games on the road.
With 4 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Galway United, Stephen Walsh will be looking to add more goals against Derry City in this match.
