ℹ️ Team News: Derry City

Derry City manager Tiernan Lynch has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Sadou Diallo (Broken arm) and Cameron Dummigan (Hamstring injury) will miss out on this game.

There’s a good chance that The Candystripes will likely elect for a 5-3-2 lineup, going with Brian Maher, Shane Ferguson, Hayden Cann, Mark Connolly, Kevin Holt, Sam Todd, Adam O'Reilly, Carl Winchester, Michael Duffy, Liam Boyce and Gavin Whyte.

🧠 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Derry City may not find it easy to get anything against this Bohemian FC team who we think will likely score at least once to gain the upper hand.

We’re therefore anticipating a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 1-0 winning score for Bohemian FC at the end of this one.

We’re expecting it to be that close.
