Dundalk, Recent FormThe Dundalk squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 away defeat against Shamrock Rovers, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they had 40% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Shamrock Rovers who had 12 attempts and 3 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 6 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games; however, they have scored in 13 of their 14 played at Oriel Park this season.
They have been performing well at Oriel Park recently and are unbeaten in their last 9 home games.
With 5 league goals in 6 games at home in Oriel Park, Patrick Hoban will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
Derry City, Recent FormDerry City had to make do with a share of the points in their last match, with a 2-2 draw against Bohemian FC. Their share of possession in that meeting was 52%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. Bohemian FC had 10 shots on goal with 3 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 10 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 5 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
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 5 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Derry City, Jamie McGonigle will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Dundalk will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Derry City, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 3-0 defeat.
The Candystripes defence has struggled at Oriel Park, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 10 visits.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 3 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Oriel Park in the league, but Dundalk will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 3 meetings there.
Dundalk manager Stephen O'Donnell has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Robbie Benson (Muscle), John Mountney (Cruciate ligament) and Keith Ward (Knock) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With Ciaron Harkin (Muscle) and Colm Whelan (Knee) both being out for the rest of the season Derry City manager Ruaidhrí Higgins will be pleased that there are no other major fitness concerns amongst the rest of his squad ahead of this upcoming fixture.
