Michael Fennelly will be expecting a clinical performance from the Faithful.
Offaly will be aiming to get their Christy Ring challenge back on track in round 2B.
Michael Fennelly brings his side to Newry to meet Derry at 1:30 on Saturday.
A win against the Oak Leaf County would take them into the semi-finals alongside Down, Kildare and either Roscommon or Sligo.
Derry have lost twice since the resumption, going failing to overcome Down on two occasions.
Our Offaly hurling commentator Joe Troy is expecting a ruthless display from Offaly:
