Derry City, Recent FormDerry City manager Ruaidhrí Higgins will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Drogheda United. They achieved 66% possession in that match and had 20 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Drogheda United's tally of 4 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Having scored 15 and conceded just 3 goals in their last 6 games, Higgins could be forgiven for feeling their recent points haul doesn't quite deliver on the reward his team's strong performance deserves. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, and this season they have notched up 9 clean sheets in 16 games at Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium.
They have been performing well at Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium recently and are unbeaten in their last 9 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.
Shelbourne, Recent FormShelbourne will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 1-0 home win against Dundalk. Their share of possession in that meeting was 42%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target. Dundalk had 11 shots on goal with 0 on target.
Manager Damien Duff will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and when playing away from home this season, they've notched up 8 clean sheets in 16 games.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.

In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
Shelbourne have struggled to break down The Candystripes defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings. Playing away from home, Shelbourne have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Derry City.
This match has run out a draw on the previous 2 encounters between these sides in the league; however, Derry City may have a slight edge with them currently enjoying a 5 match unbeaten streak against their opponents.
