Match begins: 18:45 (UTC)
Venue: UCD Bowl (3000 seats)

Season ticket holders at UCD Bowl haven’t seen too many victories this season, with UCD languishing in the 10th position so far. The guesting Derry City will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Premier Division game only four days ago. That match was played in the comfort of their own home stadium, hosting Waterford United. There's been little rest and some travel, but Derry City will do their best.

This pitch has grass, which is not Derry City's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Derry City have performed like this: Played 39 matches resulting in 15 wins, 7 draws and 17 defeats with the goal stats 47-62 (scored/conceded).
