Derry City, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 3-1 home defeat by Shamrock Rovers will have left the Derry City squad feeling a little deflated. In that game they had 45% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Shamrock Rovers who had 10 attempts and 8 on target.
Manager Ruaidhrí Higgins will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 8 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 9 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They have had a good run of form at Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.
With 6 league goals in 6 games at home in Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium, Patrick Hoban will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
St. Patrick's Athletic, Recent FormSt. Patrick's Athletic manager Jon Daly will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Waterford. They came away from that fixture with a 60% share of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to Waterford, who managed 9 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Daly will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 4 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 away games.
They've drawn their last 2 league games away from home, but their search for a league win on the road extends even further having gone 4 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
It was not a positive ending for St. Patrick's Athletic last time they met Derry City in the league, with the game ending in a 2-1 defeat.
Derry City will be confident of finding the net in this one against Saints, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 6 encounters between the two sides.
Playing at home, Derry City have won the last 3 and are unbeaten in the last 8 times they have faced St. Patrick's Athletic in the league.
