Shelbourne vs Derry Lineups and Last Match
Shelbourne
Shelbourne failed to pick up any points last time out away at St Patrick's Athletic, going down to a Mulraney goal in the 69th minute. In fairness, the odds were against the visitors in that game just as they are for Friday's encounter with Derry. The hosts can't move up or down any places no matter which way the results go this week and you wouldn't bet against Shelbourne finishing the season in 6th position.
Predicted Lineup – Kearns (GK), Griffin, T. Wilson, J. Wilson, Quinn, Lunney, Coyle, Molloy, Moylan, Caffrey & Boyd
Derry
Derry will have been disappointed not to have held out for at least a point away at the league leaders Shamrock Rovers on Monday night. A narrow 1-0 defeat means that Shamrock now top the Premier Division table by 7pts ahead of Derry who now have it all to do if they want to secure the title from their rivals.
Predicted Lineup – Maher (GK), McEleney, Dummigan, McJannet, Boyce, Doherty, Diallo, Kavanagh, O'Reilly, McEneff & McGonigle
Starting Lineups
*Lineups are usually announced 1hr before kick-off
Player to Watch: Jordan McEneff
Derry's young midfielder has impressed this season with 6-goals in just 11 starts.
The 22-year-old came through Arsenal's youth system and made the move to Shelbourne in 2022 where he stayed for just one season before moving to Derry. After a fairly uneventful first campaign at Derry, McEneff has found his feet in 2023 but despite top scoring for the club in the league this season, he doesn't always command a starting position in the team but is a danger from the bench.
We're backing McEneff to make an impression against his former employers on Friday in what most are expecting to be a win for Derry.
