After being thrashed at home by Midtjylland in the Europa League Qualifiers, Derry will be hoping to get a result in the following leg on tonight to boost their spirits before hosting Sligo Rovers this Sunday.
The Candystripes have are on a two game lose streak in the league, having been beaten away to Bray Wanderers before Cork City took all three points at Maginn Park.
Sligo Rovers on the other hand recorded an impressive 1-0 away victory against Shamrock Rovers in their last game.
The Bit O' Red are mid-table currently, and they will be hoping to follow up this impressive victory by taking points off a demoralised Derry City.
