Starting with the hosts, making a welcomed return to winning ways last time out as they clinched a 2-0 victory at home against Drogheda, Derry City essentially find themselves in Premier Division limbo. While Tiernan Lynch’s men might have laid down a shock marker on June 12th as they stormed their way to a thumping 4-1 win against Bohemians, the Candystripes have struggled to find any kind of stability this season. In fact, Derry have mustered just a pair of wins from any of their previous 11 consecutive appearances – a run that stems all the way back to April 24th. Simply hoping to find a route into the top-half of the Premier Division standings, Friday’s hosts will take some solace from their extended success in front of their own supporters. Unbeaten at the Brandywell Stadium since the middle of March, it should also be noted that Derry have conceded just a sole strike from their last four straight matchups on home soil.
As for the visitors, while Waterford might still sit rock-bottom of the Premier Division table and seeking a major uphill battle in the race to keep hold of their top-flight status, the Blues are enjoying a real upturn in fortune. Last seen making an immediate return to winning ways as they secured a stellar 3-2 victory away at former Irish champions Dundalk, Graham Coughlan’s side have shown some real signs of life over recent times. Getting June underway with a thumping 4-0 victory at home against Sligo Rovers, Friday’s guests certainly find the mood in their camp at a season-high. In fact, including a 2-1 win against Drogheda on May 18th, Waterford have lost just a pair of their previous seven Premier Division appearances. Watching Friday’s opponents play out a thrilling 2-2 stalemate when they last met for a Premier Division showdown back on May 15th, neutrals will be hoping for another enjoyable contest this weekend.
