The stats tell the story, and Cork City have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, conceding 10 goals overall. At the back, Cork City can certainly do much better. It will be interesting to find out if that trend can be sustained here.

Going into this contest, Cork City are without an away win for the past 8 league matches. What a terrible run of away results.

↔️ Head to head

An examination of their past head to head meetings stretching back to 04/08/2017 tells us that Drogheda United have won 1 of these & Cork City 2, with the tally of drawn games standing at 3.

ℹ️ Team News: Drogheda United

In all likelihood, The Drogs look set to go for a 3-4-1-2 system for this one, beginning the first half with Luke Dennison, Andrew Quinn, Conor Keeley, James Bolger, Elicha Ahui, Shane Farrell, Owen Lambe, Conor Kane, Darragh Markey, Thomas Oluwa and Warren Davis.

🗞️ Team News: Cork City

Cork City boss Tim Clancy has to currently contend with reduced team options. Benny Couto (Ankle injury), Milan Mbeng (unknown injury), Conor Drinan (unknown injury), Malik Dijksteel (unknown injury), Sean Maguire (Hamstring injury), Greg Bolger (Knock) and Ruairi Keating (Achilles tendon rupture) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We are inclined to think that The Rebel Army appear most likely to make use of a 4-3-3 lineup with a starting lineup of Tein Troost, Rio Shipston, Charlie Lyons, Darragh Crowley, Matthew Kiernan, Freddie Anderson, Kitt Nelson, Evan McLaughlin, Cathal O'Sullivan, Sean Murray and Djenairo Daniels.

🧠 Prediction

Our feeling is that Cork City will likely create enough chances to put a goal past this Drogheda United lineup, however that possibly won’t be enough to prevent defeat.

We’re tipping a close game with a 2-1 advantage for Drogheda United at the end of the match. Let’s see what eventuates.
