Shamrock Rovers, Recent FormShamrock Rovers manager Stephen Bradley will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Drogheda United. They achieved 67% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Drogheda United's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that Bradley will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 4 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 41 games in a row, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 matches overall.
They have had an excellent run of form at Tallaght Stadium recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 home games.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Shamrock Rovers, Trevor Clarke will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Cork City, Recent FormThe Cork City squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-0 home defeat against Shelbourne, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they recorded 44 % of the possession, with 7 attempts on goal, 1 on target. Their opponents found the target on 3 of their 11 shots on goal.
Having scored just 3 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Liam Buckley where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. However, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 11 in the same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games, and over the course of the season they have failed to score in 6 of their 12 games on the road.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Cork City, Tunde Owolabi will be looking to add more goals against Shamrock Rovers in this match.
It ended in disappointment and a 1-0 defeat for Shamrock Rovers last time they met Cork City in the league, with The Rebel Army defying the odds to take the win.
The Rebel Army have some indifferent league form when it comes to away matches against Shamrock; they have shipped at least 1 goal in their last 4 games away to them. We have seen plenty of goals from The Hoops when they play at home against Cork City. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 13 goals, which is an average of 4.33 goals per game.
Cork City has had a poor run in this fixture when they visit Shamrock, being unable to find a win from any of their last 7 league meetings at Tallaght Stadium.
With 6 goals from the previous 3 league matches against Cork City at Tallaght Stadium, Shamrock player, Graham Burke, will be looking forward to this clash.
Shamrock Rovers 2 - 1 Cork CityWith only Trevor Clarke (Muscle) and Neil Farrugia (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Stephen Bradley will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Cork City have a number of long term injury problems with Darragh Crowley (Cruciate ligament), Ethon Varian (Cruciate ligament) and Albin Winbo (Cruciate ligament) all being out for the rest of the season, but thankfully for their manager Liam Buckley, the rest of the squad is free from any significant fitness issues going into this tie.
