Cork City

WWWWLL

Since a loss in their previous game against Shamrock Rovers in FAI Cup action, Cork City will be aiming to make amends here.

Illustrating their penchant for action-packed matches, we’ve had goals 21 times in the prior 6 matches in which Cork City have sent out their troops, yielding an average of 3.5 goals for each fixture. Opposition teams have managed 8 of those goals. Such a pattern isn’t assured to be continued into this next game, of course.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Cork City:

• have not been beaten by UCD when having played them away from home in the previous 4 league matches. A very good run of results for them.
• are unbeaten in their last 5 league matches away from home.

A combined sum of 7 goals were shared by the two clubs during those clashes, with 1 for The Students and 6 belonging to The Rebel Army. That’s an average goals per game of 1.17.

⚡ Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that UCD could find themselves struggling to find the net against this Cork City outfit who will likely get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.

We’re going for a very competitive encounter with a 0-1 winning score for Cork City after 90 minutes.

Let’s see how it plays out.
