Drogheda United, Recent FormThe Drogheda United squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-1 away defeat against Dundalk, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. During that encounter they had 33% possession and had 6 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 8 shots on goal.
When it comes to attacking power Kevin Doherty will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 9 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 8 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have conceded at least one goal in 12 of their 16 home games this season.
Drogheda will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Drogheda United, Kyle Robinson will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Derry City, Recent FormIn their last match Derry City enforced their superiority over UCD with a 6-0 home win. They came away from that fixture with a 74% share of the possession and clocked up 25 attempts on goal with 11 on target, in comparison to UCD, who managed 2 attempts on goal, 1 of which were on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 17 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 5 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. 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 shown some decent form of late, being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches, with 3 of the 5 being victories for good measure.
Will Patching will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for Derry City.
The last time these two teams met Derry City enforced their superiority over Drogheda United with a comfortable 3-0 win.
The Candystripes have managed to keep a clean sheet against Drogheda in each of their previous 2 meetings. The Candystripes have found the back of the net in each of their previous 3 league matches away from home to Drogheda.
Derry City has won the last 2 games they've played against Drogheda in the league.
With only Dylan Grimes (Knock) and Aaron McNally (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Kevin Doherty will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With both Ciaron Harkin (Muscle) and Colm Whelan (Knee) being out for the rest of the season and Mark Connolly (Ankle) 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.
