Shelbourne, Recent FormLast time out for Shelbourne resulted in a perhaps unsurprising 1-1 draw against Dundalk in a match they really wanted to win.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 5 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have been misfiring up front at home recently, having been unable to produce a goal in 3 of their last 6 matches. With 5 clean sheets so far this season, they have one of the best shut out records in the league.
Shelbourne will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
On an individual basis, Seán Boyd will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Shelbourne's last 6 league games.
Cork City, Recent FormLosing 3-1 home to Derry City won't leave the Cork City squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 14 places above them in the league.
Having conceded 11 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 4 points. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Cork City, Ruairi Keating will be looking to add more goals against Shelbourne in this match.
It was one to forget for Cork City last time they met Shelbourne in the league, falling to a 0-2 defeat.
Shelbourne have managed to keep a clean sheet against The Rebel Army in each of their previous 2 meetings. Shelbourne will be confident of finding the net in this one against The Rebel Army, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 10 encounters between the two sides.
Shelbourne will be looking to continue their winning streak against Cork City, having won each of the last 4 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 6 meetings.
Cork City 0 - 2 ShelbourneShelbourne 2 - 1 Cork CityCork City 1 - 3 ShelbourneShelbourne manager Damien Duff has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Seán Boyd (Nose surgery), Mark Coyle (Knock), Conor Kane (Knee) and Gavin Molloy (Ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Cork City manager Colin Healy ahead of this clash, with Cian Bargary (Groin) missing out, which gives Healy a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
