Shamrock to move to the top of the table
2163
On Friday night, Shamrock Rovers host Cork City at the Tallaght Stadium, as the home side look to move to the top of the Irish Premier Division.
Shamrock are currently second in the table, only trailing perennial title rivals Dundalk courtesy of an inferior goal difference.
A 3-0 win at Finn Harps last time out in the Irish top-flight means that Rovers have won three of their last four matches. However, the home sides league form has been inconsistent of late by their high standards, as they have won three and lost three of their last six outings in the Irish top-flight.
The home side has a good recent home record in the Irish Premier Division, losing just once in their last 11 matches on home soil while winning five of their last six matches. Shamrock have been strong defensively on home soil, conceding just three goals in their last eight home league games.
Shamrock are unbeaten in four meetings with the visitors in the Irish Premier Division. However, two of those games have finished in draws.
Cork City are enduring an inconsistent campaign so far this season. The visitors are currently sixth-place in the table. After a poor recent run of form in the Irish Premier League, Cork have now lost just once in five matches, recording three wins in the process. Last time out, the visitors defeated UCD 1-0.
John Cotter’s team’s recent league matches have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last eight games.
Cork have won their last two away games in the Irish top-flight at Bohemians and UCD after losing their previous four away matches. Their last four away games in the league have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last four outings.
Forebet predicts that Shamrock will record a victory in a low-scoring clash to return to the top of the Irish Premier Division.
