Cork City have sensationally lost their first-leg game at the home field, having broken their undefeated series in all tournaments which had been lasting since the 28th of October. After 22 rounds of the Ireland’s Premier Division the team takes the lead in the table with 61 points earned, being 15 points ahead of the closest chaser. In the UEFA Europa League the Irish club has already passed through one round by knocking out Levadia 2:0, 4:2. Cork City’s unbeaten run at away grounds consists of 14 games and has been lasting since the 28th of October 2016 with the team having won 13 encounters and gained a single draw during that period.
I believe that the Thursday fight will be exciting and equal. And none should expect a number of scored goals in it. The visiting side will try to cover the margin, therefore, Cork City’s positive Asian handicap at least means no bat.
Prediction for the match: Cork City to win with +1.0 Asian handicap.
