On June 9, Turners Cross (Cork) will host the match of the 20th round of the Irish Premier Division, in which Cork City will compete with Dundalk. The battle will start at 20:45 CET.

Cork City

The team perfectly shows how quickly the state of things in Irish football can be changed. “The Rebel Army” achieved the so-called “golden double” in 2017 and the next draw also brought the 2nd place in the Premier Division and a cup final. Nowadays, it is the club that has returned from the Division 1. The start at the higher level was more than “rocky” – the club won only twice in first 15 matches and even lost six times in a row. Still, the spring segment was finished in a pretty optimistic way – two home victories in the battles against Sligo Rovers and Shamrock were taken with the same score (1-0) – the higher mentioned results allowed at least to “push off” from the very bottom of the table. It turns out to keep the maximum tempo in the summer. First, with the same traditionally minimum score, Drogheda was beaten thanks to a single ball at the away arena, and then there happened one more victory in the battle against Bohemians – the final 2-1 score was reached in the 88th minute of the game.

Dundalk

The club became famous outside the country when it was able to participate at the group stage of the Europa League in 2016. Moreover, it was able to do it again in 2020. Then, “The Lilywhites” became the champion of the country 5 times in 2014-2019. For comparison, the previous year brought only the 3rd place in the final standings. Nowadays, the team alternates good segments (10 points in 4 matches in March, 4 wins in a row in late April and early May) and obvious recessions (when it turns out to hardly “cling” to draws). A 0-2 defeat made by Shamrock Rovers became the third defeat in 4 rounds. Still, UC Dublin appeared in the way of the opponent’s flame and lost the following battle with a 4-1 score.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

Dundalk demonstrates good head-to-head statistics against Cork City. Nevertheless, speaking about the current championship, it exchanged victories with a minimal difference at the home arenas: there happened a 2-1 victory and a 0-1 misfire.

Predictions

Bookmakers consider the opponents to be fairly equal. Still, Cork City gained good momentum, besides it will play on the native field – thus, we bet on its victory with “a 0 goal handicap” (odd: 1.93).
