Derry City
DWLWWL
Derry City will be hoping for a better result after a 2-1 Premier Division losing effort in their last game against Waterford.
In that match, Derry City managed 59% possession and 15 shots on goal with 5 on target. The scorer for Derry City was Liam Boyce (94'). Waterford got 10 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. Darragh Leahy (40') and Pádraig Amond (65') scored for Waterford.
At least three goals per match have been seen in 5 of the last 6 meetings where Derry City have participated. Their opponents scored 8 times in these games while Derry City amassed a tally of 10. That kind of pattern isn’t assured to be sustained into this game, of course.
Going into this one, Derry City have not emerged victorious against Shelbourne in their last 8 matches in the league.

During their 6 most recent matches, Damien Duff's Shelbourne have managed to stick the ball in the net a total of 9 times thus earning them the goals per game average of 1.5.
Looking at their past form shows that Shelbourne:
- have not been beaten by Derry City in games played away from home for the previous 6 matches in the league. A very good record, indeed.
- haven't been defeated in their previous 7 away league matches.
- are without an away win for the past 3 league games.

📰 Team News: Derry City
Cameron Dummigan (Hamstring injury) and Sadou Diallo (Broken arm) won’t be able to feature for Derry City gaffer Tiernan Lynch.
📋 Team News: Shelbourne
Shelbourne manager Damien Duff has to currently contend with reduced team options. Daniel Kelly (unknown injury), Tyreke Wilson (unknown injury) and Paddy Barrett (unknown injury) are not ready for selection.
✨ Prediction
In this match, Shelbourne will likely create enough chances to put one past this Derry City lineup, but it is unlikely to be enough to prevent defeat.
We can see a very close game with a 2-1 winning score for Derry City at the end of the match. Definitely a tough call.
