LOI preview: Derry look to keep up electric form

There's a full round of SSE Airtricity League Premier Division fixtures tonight, with Derry City aiming to keep up their electric form.

They're three points clear of Shamrock Rovers at the top and welcome Bohemians to the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium.

Speculation continues to swirls around Hoops boss Stephen Bradley who bas been heavil linked to Lincoln City. They take on Finn Harps in Tallaght.

Elsewhere it's reunion time for Tim Clancy as he goes back to Drogheda with Patrick's Athletic.

Shamrock Rovers v Finn Harps, Tallaght Stadium, 8pm

Away from the discussions around Stephen Bradley, it's a big week coming up for Shamrock Rovers in Tallaght Stadium.

Finn Harps, Sligo Rovers and title rivals Derry City are all to come in the next seven days.

Harps looks the more easier on the form lines so far this season and they have struggled greatly at this venue.

They did secure a surprise point last year but it would be a real shock if they were to repeat that feat.

Harps gave themselves a massive shot in the arm through Barry McNamee’s precise finish against Shelbourne.

Their only victories this season have come against Damien Duff’s side.

That win gave Harps some daylight over UCD and brought other sides into their reach.

While it will be very difficult tonight, anything here is a bonus.

Bradley, meanwhile, feels the opposition could be better placed so far.

Harps have scored 45% of their goals in the final 15 minutes of matches but also conceded late goal as well.

"Finn Harps will feel that their points total should be higher, they’ve been competitive in all of their games, maybe dropping points that they feel that they shouldn’t have. They tested us in the match up there, hitting the bar, and we’ll respect them and the way they play.
