This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses in away matches; against 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses at their stadium.

Derry heads into this clash unmotivated after a 5-2 away loss against St. Patrick's. The home team has some gaps from the defensive point of view, as it suffers goals quite easily. The home emblem usually plays in 4-3-3, opting to put many players in the midfield. In this tactical formation, the players responsible for putting the opposing defensive in the direction are Ronan Hale, Curtis and Patterson.

Coach: R. Higgins.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 8 losses in the last away matches and they haven't won any of the last 9 away matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 7 of the last 9 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first.

Bray comes to this clash unmotivated after a 4-0 away loss at the Cork Arena. Like its opponent, it is expected that the away team will choose to play in a 4-3-3 tactical formation, where the three most offensive players are Galvin, Kelly and Coughlan. Thus, by playing away from home, the coach is expected to adopt a more defensive strategy, since he holds a squad of lesser quality. Coach Graham Kelly should have all the players at his disposal.

Confirmed Lineup: Evan Moran, Kevin Lynch, Sean Heaney, Dylan Hayes, Darragh Gibbons, Daniel McKenna, Paul O'Conor, Cory Galvin, Daniel Kelly, Gary McCabe, Ronan Coughlin.
Coach: G. Cronin.
