We said: 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.
