Cork City vs Dundalk Predictions

• Cork City have won four games in a row since their 2-1 defeat at Dundalk in early May.
• Cork have won their last three at home, including a 1-0 victory over leaders Shamrock Rovers.
• Dundalk have lost their last three away league games.

Buoyant Cork can gain revenge on Dundalk

The fortunes of these two clubs have changed dramatically since they met last month with Cork winning all four of their matches since Dundalk’s dramatic win at Oriel Park.

Two strikes in stoppage time enabled Stephen O’Donnell’s side to claim the points as Cork finished the game with only nine players on the pitch after two were sent off in a dramatic climax.

Interim boss Liam Buckley has certainly used that result to galvanise his troops with the Leesiders now on a four-game winning streak that includes a 1-0 win over leaders and reigning champions Shamrock Rovers.

Lilywhites have lost confidence 

They should continue that run when they face a Dundalk side that came from a goal down to beat bottom club UCD on Monday and thus end a four-game winless sequence.

The Lilywhites have had some tough games of late, but confidence has been drained by three straight away losses and they may not be able to match Cork for motivation either this Friday.

Hence, a home win is the preferred bet for this clash and a 2-1 scoreline gets the nod for correct score purposes. Both of the previous head-to-head contests this season have been decided by one goal while Dundalk have now conceded multiple goals in each of their last three road league games.
