Derry City will host struggling Galway United this Friday where they will be hoping to increase their unbeaten run to ten games.
It's been a frustrating unbeaten period for the Candystripes, a run of nine games which has featured no less than seven draws.
Despite this, they remain within touching distance of the chasing pack and lie in fourth position, joint on points with Shamrock Rovers.
Galway have found some good form recently after initially struggling at the start of the season, but they are coming off the back of two defeats to Dublin sides Shamrock Rovers and Bohemians.
With the bottom of the table very tight, every point gained for the Tribesmen from now until the end of the season will be crucial.
