Finn Harps vs. Derry (Sunday, 6.00pm)
Derry City return to League of Ireland Premier action when they travel to face struggling Finn Harps in a Northwest derby at Finn Park on Sunday evening.
The visitors have seen their Europa Conference League campaign ended prematurely over the last couple of weeks, whilst the hosts continue to extend their winless run as they slide towards an inevitable relegation.
We say: Finn Harps 1-2 Derry City
Although Derry should comfortably win this derby on paper based on this season's successes, a tiring trip back home on Friday is likely to leave them a little short of fitness on Sunday.
The hosts will surely look to capitalise on their advantage in energy levels, but we are still predicting the visitors to edge out their rivals and strengthen their hold on a top-three spot.

Sligo vs. UCD (Sunday, 6.00pm)
Sligo Rovers will be expected to keep the pressure on the top three of the League of Ireland Premier when they welcome bottom-of-the-table University College Dublin to The Showgrounds on Sunday.
The hosts come into this fixture on the back of success in Europe over the past couple of weeks, whilst the visitors continue to extend their winless run further as they edge closer towards relegation out of the top flight.
We say: Sligo Rovers 3-0 University College Dublin
This should be a comfortable routine victory for Sligo on Sunday, despite the hosts having played 120 minutes of intense football on Thursday evening.
UCD do not look too capable of putting up a fight against the drop as things stand, so Sligo should manage to keep the pressure on the top three with a comprehensive win.
