Derry City, Recent FormIn their last match Derry City enforced their superiority over UCD with a 5-0 away win. They came away from that fixture with 71% of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 9 on target. By comparison, UCD managed 5 attempts on goal, with 1 on target.
With 16 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Ruaidhrí Higgins will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 5 goals in the same period. When playing at home this season, they've notched up 8 clean sheets.
They have been performing well at Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium recently and are unbeaten in their last 7 home games.
Having scored 5 goals in his last 6 league games for Derry City, Will Patching will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Shamrock Rovers, Recent FormThe last league instalment for Shamrock Rovers produced a stunning 3-0 home win over Bohemian FC. In that game they recorded 54 % of the possession, with 22 attempts on goal, 10 on target. Their opponents found the target on 1 of their 12 shots on goal.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 4 and seen valuable points lost. In this season's away games, they've recorded 8 clean sheets.
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.
On an individual basis, Rory Gaffney will be looking to cause Derry City some problems having scored 2 goals in Shamrock Rovers' last 6 away games in the league.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 1-0 win for Shamrock Rovers.
Derry City have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 4 league meetings with The Hoops. Shamrock have managed to keep a clean sheet against Derry City in 4 of their previous 5 meetings. The Candystripes have struggled to break down the Shamrock defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
Shamrock has won the last 2 games they've played against Derry City in the league.
Derry City 3 - 1 Shamrock RoversWith both Ciaron Harkin (Muscle) and Colm Whelan (Knee) being out for the rest of the season and Ronan Boyce (Muscle) also unavailable in the shorter term, Derry City manager Ruaidhrí Higgins will be relieved to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
There is only really one injury concern for the Shamrock manager Stephen Bradley ahead of this clash, with Jack Byrne (Muscle) missing out, which gives Bradley a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
