Derry City vs Cork City Lineups and Last Match
Derry
Second-placed Derry City played host to fellow title challengers Bohemians last time out but nothing could separate the two clubs at the final whistle and the game ended in a goalless draw. Dummigan, Patching, McEleney and Harkin have all either been ruled out or are rated as doubtful to feature for the home side this Friday.
Predicted Lineup – Maher (GK), Coll, McEleney, McJannet, Boyce, Duffy, Doherty, Diallo, O'Reilly, Graydon & Kavanagh
Cork
Struggling Cork had the home advantage in their last league game against Dundalk and despite taking the lead through an Annesley own goal, the hosts ended up losing the match 2-1. Varian, Hakkinen, Crowley and Winbo are the main injury concerns for the visitors this Friday.
Predicted Lineup – Corcoran (GK), Gilchrist, Coleman, Čustović, Honohan, O'Donovan, Bolger, Coffey, Healy, Keating & Owolabi
Starting Lineups
*Lineups are usually announced 1hr before kick-off
Player to Watch: Jordon McEneff
Derry City's top goalscorer will be hoping to start on Friday when his team go up against a struggling Cork eleven.
McEneff has netted 6-goals in just 10 starts for Derry this season and the 22-year-old has impressed in 2023 following a slow start to his career in Ireland.
The Derry striker is due a goal on Friday having failed to score in each of his last three games for the club but does head into the match with 2-goals in his last five league games and could make all the difference for the hosts whether he starts the game or comes on as a substitute.
