Cork City hosts Derry City in round 25 of Irish Premier Division. The match will be played on Friday, June 28th atTurners Cross (Cork)
The vice-champion of Ireland does not shine in this season. Cork has rather low scoring, which prevents the team from earning points. However, the City often score its goals. The team failed to score only in 2 of the last 8 games in the championship. And here it is worth noting that during this period, Cork did not break the defense of Dundalk and Shamrock, whose defensive lines are the most reliable in the league.

Derry City continues to act unstable and lose points. The team gained only 1 victory in the last 7 league games, and that one over the outsider. Derry's failures are not surprising, given the constant demises in defense. The Candystripes kept a clean sheet only twice in the last 8 official games. And in general, the team managed to keep a clean sheet in only 8 of the 21 games in the current championship.
Cork scored only 18 goals in this season - one of the worst fixtures in the league. However, the City managed to score in the last two matches, which the team played away. And Cork delivered a total of 29 shots on goal in those two games. Derry is unlikely to stand under such pressure. Moreover, the Candystripes conceded 8 goals in the last 6 away matches and kept a clean sheet only with Sligo. What the visitors can do is to break through the defense of Cork. Derry has shown good scoring in recent games, having hammered 7 goals. It is also worth noting that the Candystripes scored 2 goals even to the nets of Shamrock and Dundalk in away games. Finally, Derry scored Cork twice in their last head-to-head match.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
