Cork City also showed nice results in eurocups this season but couldn’t advance for the group stage of the Europa League and now can be focused on domestic league only. The visiting side appears to be the only contenders for the title. Cork City have gained 45 points in 21 matches with 34-10 goal difference. The team shows excellent results in defense in away matches, allowing only three goals in 10 matches on the road with 19 points gained. On top of that, Cork City are undefeated in away games since the middle of March.
Cork City are undefeated in matches with Dundalk in last six head-to-heads, winning last three of these matches 4-0 on aggregate. The opponents are the best teams in the country and their clash will be the main event of the matchday. All suggest that the teams won’t force things and there will be not that many chances created in the match.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals.
