Derry City welcome Dundalk at Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium, Derry on Friday, Oct 23 at 8:45 PM in a League of Premier Division fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
Derry City come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Dundalk travel in mixed form (2W 0D 3L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
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.
