Season ticket holders at Turner's Cross haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Cork City languishing in the 7th position so far. The guesting Derry City will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
