Derry City
LLLWLL
Derry City won’t want a repeat of their last result here after the 2-0 Premier Division losing effort in their last game against St. Patrick's Athletic.
Aidan Keena (16', 67') scored for St. Patrick's Athletic.
Derry City have been quite ineffective in attack in more recent games. Their sum of goals stands at just 3 vs opposition teams over the course of their last 6 outings. In those games, Derry City have also seen the tally of goals against them come to 10. That kind of pattern might not be carried forward into this match, of course.
