Derry City Preview – Can Derry return to stubborn form?
Derry City’s impressive and solid run of eight matches without defeat in the Irish Premier Division came to an end last time with a 2-1 loss away at Dundalk but the hosts now return to home turf for Friday’s clash with Waterford where they’ll be looking to bounce back with a win.
Previously, Derry City had picked up important wins against Waterford 1-0 away, Drogheda United and Finn Harps along with picking up points in five draws, so they’ll still be confident that they can despatch second from bottom Waterford on Friday night.
Derry have won two of the previous three meetings against Waterford and they may not get a better chance to pick up their first home win of the season here.
Waterford Preview – Can Waterford gain lifeline?
Second from bottom outfit, Waterford, currently occupy the relegation play-off spot in the Irish Premier Division and find themselves seven points adrift of their nearest rivals, Finn Harps, despite losing just one of their last four matches overall.
Recent wins against Dundalk and Longford Town in 3-1 and 2-1 wins respectively were both away from home and may give the visitors much needed confidence as they seek to climb out of the relegation zone.
Waterford have won their last two away matches on the trot but the bigger picture shows that the visitors have won just two of their last seven games on their travels, losing five of these.
