St Patrick's Athletic went top of the Irish Premier Division after their home win over Galway United. They now travel to Derry City who are fifth in the table but only two points behind their opponents. Read our match prediction.
The away side lead the table by one point from Drogheda United. Six of their 13 league games this season have ended in victory but only two have come on their travels. Their six away league games have only seen 12 goals scored.
Six goals have been scored on the road but the same number conceded. Before the home win over Galway United, Athletic had gone three league games without a win. Four of their last six matches have had under 2.5 goals scored in them.
Derry City should be tough opponents for the league leaders. They have won three of their last four matches played in the Irish Premier Division and most recently beat Shelbourne 2-0 at home.
That was their fourth home league win in seven games this season. The last two have been won with five goals scored and none conceded. Six of their last seven home league games against St Patrick's Athletic have been won. We tip them to get the victory.
