Goal Statistics

Derry City have been reliable in front of goal of late, finding the net in 10 consecutive Premier Division games. Their PG of 1.7 against Waterford FC on Friday suggests they're likely to extend that run.

Derry City's defensive record is to be admired, T. Lynch's men having conceded 1 or less in 7 consecutive Premier Division games. An average PG rating of 1.1 for Waterford FC makes sense in this context.
