Cork City
LLLLDL ⚠

The stats tell the story, and Cork City have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 13 goals overall. In defence, Cork City have not been doing too well.
A look at their previous results shows us that Cork City:
- have left without a victory over Shamrock Rovers in away games against them for the last 9 league matches. An awful away record.
- haven’t won away from home in the past 11 league games. Very poor, indeed.

ℹ️ Team News: Shamrock Rovers
It seems likely that The Hoops will possibly opt for a 5-3-2 formation, utilising Edward McGinty, Trevor Clarke, Lee Grace, Roberto Lopes, Cory O'Sullivan, Josh Honohan, Darragh Nugent, Matthew Healy, Dylan Watts, Aaron Greene and Graham Burke.
ℹ️ Team News: Cork City
Cork City manager Gerard Nash has not got a full squad to pick from. Conor Drinan (Cruciate ligament injury), Benny Couto (Ankle injury) and Ruairi Keating (Achilles tendon rupture) can’t be considered.
We reckon that The Rebel Army seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-3-3 formation, giving starts to Tein Troost, Milan Mbeng, Charlie Lyons, Sean Murray, Freddie Anderson, Darragh Crowley, Evan McLaughlin, Joshua Fitzpatrick, Cathal O'Sullivan, Djenairo Daniels and Sean Maguire.
🧠 Prediction
It’s likely that Cork City will have to play really well to find the net against a Shamrock Rovers side who should control most aspects of this game.
We predict a commanding 3-0 winning scoreline for Shamrock Rovers at the end of this one.
