Derry City, Recent FormA 0-0 draw and a point gained against Shelbourne in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent result for Derry City last time out. Their share of possession in that meeting was 57%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Shelbourne, who had 3 shots on goal with 1 on target.
Ruaidhrí Higgins will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 8 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.
Winning 4 and being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 league games at Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium, marks a good spell of home form for Derry City.
Having scored 5 goals in his last 6 league games for Derry City, Patrick Hoban will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Dundalk, Recent FormLast time out for Dundalk resulted in a perhaps unsurprising 0-0 draw against Drogheda United in a match they really wanted to win. They achieved 58% possession in that match and had 6 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Drogheda United's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
Having scored just 1 goal in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Stephen O'Donnell where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. However, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 10 in the same period. They have failed to score in 5 of their last 6 games, and they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games away from home.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 7 games.
Daryl Horgan will be hoping to create problems for Derry City in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Dundalk.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 1-3 win for Derry City.
