Derry City, Recent FormDerry City manager Ruaidhrí Higgins will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Drogheda United. Their share of possession in that meeting was 62%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Drogheda United, who had 10 shots on goal with 3 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 6 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.
They have had an excellent run of form at Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 home games.
On an individual basis, Patrick Hoban will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Derry City's last 6 league games.
Shamrock Rovers, Recent FormThe last league instalment for Shamrock Rovers produced a stunning 3-0 home win over Sligo Rovers. In that game they had 67% possession and managed 21 attempts on goal, with 11 on target, compared to Sligo Rovers who had 5 attempts and 3 on target.
Manager Stephen Bradley will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 games on the road.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Aaron Greene will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Shamrock Rovers.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 2-2 draw.
The Hoops will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Derry City having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 6 meetings. Playing away from home, Shamrock have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against Derry City. The Candystripes have struggled for goals when Shamrock comes to visit Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium, having scored just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
The last 2 league meetings between these teams has ended with a share of the spoils but Derry City will be slighlty more concerned that they have not won this fixture in 4 games.
Derry City manager Ruaidhrí Higgins has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Sadou Diallo (Ankle), Patrick Hoban (Leg) and Colm Whelan (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Stephen Bradley has a number of injury concerns in his Shamrock squad to contend with: Jack Byrne (Calf), Neil Farrugia (Collarbone), Rory Gaffney (Knee), Lee Grace (Leg), Seán Kavanagh (Muscle) and Aaron McEneff (Unknown)
