More goals for Cork

Cork City are propping up the Irish Premier Division table, having secured only 13 points from their first 20 matches this term. They’ve been in awful form of late, losing six of their previous seven league starts.

Second-placed Drogheda should expect three points on Monday, having started that poor run for Cork with a 3-2 victory last month. However, the visitors have a mixed record on their travels, while they’ve conceded at each of the bottom four.

Cork’s matches this term have been entertaining, with 17 of their 20 league games featuring both teams finding the net. The struggling side have conceded in all 20 of their games, so Drogheda should have some joy going forward.

However, the visitors conceded 2.16 xG in their 1-0 win over second-bottom Sligo Rovers on Friday. That doesn’t bode well for their chances at shutting down Cork, who have netted in nine of their last 10.
