Derry City host Dundalk at Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium, Derry on Friday, Oct 23 at 8:45 PM in the League of Premier Division.
Derry City come into this fixture out of form (0W 2L recently). Dundalk, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Derry City head into this on the back of a defeat, while Dundalk arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
History strongly favours Derry City here — they've won 4 of 10 previous meetings against Dundalk, with 5 draws. Their last encounter ended in Derry City won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Derry City a slight edge, but Dundalk are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
