Longford Town head into this fixture coming off the back of a 2-2 First Division draw vs Wexford.

Itโ€™s not been often in recent times that Longford Town have shown defensive steel. The facts show that Longford Town have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 12 goals in the process. That kind of pattern wonโ€™t necessarily be continued into this next game, though.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Longford Town:

  • are winless against Cork City in their previous 8 matches in the league.
  • are without a home win in the past 7 league games. Their supporters are understandably frustrated.
