Cork City, Recent FormThe Cork City squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 away defeat against UCD, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 4 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 10, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have recently found some good scoring form at home, hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Turners Cross Stadium. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
On an individual basis, Ruairi Keating will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Cork City's 10 league games this season.
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 Dundalk.
He will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 4 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 5 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 outings away from home. With 4 clean sheets so far this season, they have one of the best shut out records in the league.
They have had a good run of form away from home recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 3 wins along the way.
Ben Doherty has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Cork City.
The 2-0 victory which Derry City recorded last time these two sides met was no surprise to most.
The Candystripes will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Cork City, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 6 meetings between the two. When it comes to breaching the opposition defence, Derry City know how to do it against The Rebel Army, having clocked up 14 goals against them in their previous 5 meetings.
In the league, Derry City has had a good run of results against Cork City, being unbeaten in their last 7 meetings.
Derry City 2 - 0 Cork CityWith no real injury worries, Cork City manager Colin Healy will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
There is only really one injury concern for the Derry City manager Ruaidhrí Higgins ahead of this clash, with Mark Connolly (Hamstring) missing out, which gives Higgins a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
