📰 Team News: Bohemian FC
The Bohemian FC boss Pat Fenlon will be grateful not to have any fitness concerns at all coming into this game owing to a fully healthy squad available for selection.
In all likelihood, The Bohs will possibly kick off with a 4-2-3-1 system in the match, handing starts to Kacper Chorazka, Michael Lilander, Cian Byrne, Jordan Flores, Patrick Kirk, Brian McManus, Adam McDonnell, Dayle Rooney, James Clarke, Dylan Connolly and Filip Piszczek.
🗞️ Team News: Derry City
Derry City boss Ruaidhrí Higgins has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Colm Whelan (Cruciate ligament injury), Sadou Diallo (Knee injury) and Ciaron Harkin (Cruciate ligament injury) are not ready for selection.
We are inclined to think that The Candystripes seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup using Brian Maher, Ronan Boyce, Mark Connolly, Cameron McJannett, Ben Doherty, Patrick McEleney, Jordan McEneff, Daniel Kelly, Paul McMullan, Danny Mullen and Patrick Hoban.

Our tip is therefore for a very competitive encounter with a 0-1 winning score for Derry City when the full-time whistle blows.
