Cork City, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-0 away win over UCD in their last league game, Cork City will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They came away from that fixture with 50% of the possession and clocked up 15 attempts on goal with 5 on target. By comparison, UCD managed 12 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
Richie Holland will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 7 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 11 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
Losing 4 of their last 6 outings will not be looked on kindly by their manager; however, they did salvage some valuable points by winning the other 2 games.
Goalscorer Ruairi Keating will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Cork City.
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 Shelbourne. In that game they had 31% possession and managed 5 attempts on goal, with 0 on target, compared to Shelbourne who had 13 attempts and 3 on target.
Having scored 12 and conceded just 2 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 4 of their last 6 away games, and they have had a recent run of 3 clean sheets overall.
Derry City will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 away games, but with only 2 wins there is some room for improvement.
Will Patching is the man of the moment at Derry City right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 4 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
There was no upset on the cards last time these two sides met; on that occasion, Derry City produced a comfortable 2-0 victory.
The Candystripes will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Cork City having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 8 meetings. Derry City have a good attacking record away to The Rebel Army in the league, having scored a total of 8 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 2.67 goals per game.
Derry City has won the last 3 games they've played against Cork City in the league.
