Prediction: 2-0
Waterford
High-flying Derry City will look to extend their winning run to four games when they take on Waterford on Friday evening. The Candystripes have found their best form of late and, as a result, the bookies see them as hot favourites to win the round 23 clash. With no fresh injury worries to report, head coach Tiernan Lynch is unlikely to make changes to the team that outplayed Drogheda United 3-0 at the weekend.
The Blues, on the other hand, failed to upset league leaders Shamrock Rovers in their last league match and given their poor winless run on the road, we are tempted to place our bets on the in-form hosts. Both Kacper Radkowski and Matthew Smith are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team, while Grant Horton serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
