Shamrock Rovers
Cork City

Shamrock Rovers -1

Reason for tip

The second-bottom visitors have lost eight times on the road this term, suffering five defeats by two goals or more. The hosts have to bounce back after some tough European defeats but they should have little trouble extending their lead at the top of the table with a comfortable win.

Shamrock Rovers 2-0

Reason for tip

Cork concede 2.33 goals per away game this season and they have failed to score in half of their away trips this season. Shamrock Rovers average 2.25 goals per game at home this term so back them for a routine win against Cork.

Shamrock Rovers vs Cork City Predictions

  • Shamrock Rovers have struggled in Europe of late but remain top of the league
  • Cork City have lost four of their last six games, losing 2-0 and 3-0 in their last two
  • The visitors have lost by two or more in five of their eight away defeats this term

Rovers’ rotten run

Shamrock Rovers head into this clash on Sunday off the back of five straight defeats, which is hardly ideal preparation. Despite that, the hosts are still on top of the Irish Premier Division table as they prepare to play their first league game in almost a month.

The hosts have been busy with European action of late, losing home and away legs to Breidablik in the Champions League and Ferencvaros in the Conference League. In between they suffered a 1-0 loss in the Irish Cup to Dundalk, but they know that the title is in their hands as they refocus on the league for the final few months of the campaign.

Cork look vulnerable

While Shamrock Rovers head into the game in poor form, they have the perfect opportunity to bounce back against second-bottom Cork City. The visitors have lost eight of their 12 away games so far this term and they’re winless in six league games, losing four.

The visitors have lost 3-0 to Sligo Rovers and 2-0 to Shelbourne across their last two and they average 2.33 goals against per trip this season. Cork have lost by two or more goals in five of their eight away defeats this term and the league leaders can add to that this weekend.
