On July 28, at 16:00, Cork City receives a visit to Shamrock Rovers in the 27th round of Ireland’s first Irish football league. On Turners Cross we will see a balanced match against two country’s traditional teams.
Shamrock Rovers is ranked second in Ireland, but already has five points to recover from Dundalk. With 42-15 goalscorer, Shamrock wants to stay in the champion’s net, so the Shamrock points are vital. Cork has a modest season and is only in 7th place (goal 19-29), but away from relegation worries. With a modest offensive, Cork hopes to be dangerous on his own in front of a team that has already scored 42 goals in 25 matches.
Cork was eliminated from the Europa League preliminaries, after 0-2 and 2-1 with Niedercorn, and the team’s attention is now focused only on domestic competition. In the last two championship matches, Cork drew white with Bohemians and Finn Harps. Shamrock, on the other hand, comes after a series of good results in the championship, the last victory being categorical: 7-0 at home with modest UC Dublin.
In the Europa League, Shamrock eliminated Brann Bergen (4-3 in general), and last Thursday impressed in front of Apollon (2-1). The goals of Grace (’14) and Lopes (’58) decided the fate of the game. Considering that in the last five direct duels it was only once to score both teams, we consider that this type of bet is also suitable for the weekend.
PREDICTION: Shamrock Rovers to win @ 1,70
