Latest football commentary Derry City vs Galway United
Derry City travel to the Ryan McBride Brandywell on Friday looking to end a two-game losing streak and return to the top of the Irish Premiership, following a recent dip in form.
The Candystripes had three consecutive wins in May, finishing second with 26 points from their first 15 games, with eight wins and five losses, but since then they have picked up just one more point in their next three games.
The run of results began with a 1-1 draw at Drogheda United, thanks to a stoppage-time equaliser from Dom Thomas, before Tiernan Lynch's side suffered two successive defeats. The first was a 2-1 home defeat to Shamrock Rovers, despite having led 1-0 through Danny Mullen in the 70th minute.
Michael Noonan equalised for the visitors, and Aaron McEneff scored the winner for Shamrock just a minute before the end, before the Candystripes last visited Bohemians at the end of May and came away empty-handed when Dayle Rooney scored the only early penalty of the game.
Currently sixth in the Irish top flight, just three points behind second- and third-placed Drogheda United and Bohemians, Derry City will be aiming to end their slump and return to the top flight with a win on Friday.
Meanwhile, the visitors will try to overcome the home team and continue their recovery from a recent string of poor results.
Victory in late April moved Galway United up to second in the Irish Premiership with 20 points from 12 games, but they then suffered four consecutive defeats in their next four games.
The Tribesmen ended that losing streak last month when they hosted Cork City, with Conor McCormack's 84th-minute goal securing a 2-1 win, after Moses Dyer had opened the scoring for the home side but was equalised.
John Caulfield's side travelled to top-flight Shamrock Rovers in their last game and picked up a valuable point with a goalless draw, leaving them seventh in the table and three points behind fifth-placed Shelbourne and Friday's hosts. They will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to three games and move into the top half with another win.
