Dundalk, Recent FormThe Dundalk squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-1 home defeat against Derry City, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they had 72% possession and managed 18 attempts on goal, with 8 on target, compared to Derry City who had 10 attempts and 4 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 7, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 8 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games; however, they have scored in 14 of their 15 played at Oriel Park this season.
Having managed to remain undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home matches at Oriel Park, they have put together a strong home record of late, winning 3 of these games too.
On an individual basis, Patrick Hoban will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Oriel Park having scored 5 goals in Dundalk's last 6 home games in the league.
Cork City, Recent FormLast time out, Cork City recorded an impressive 3-0 home win against Sligo Rovers. They achieved 40% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Sligo Rovers' tally of 15 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 6 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 11, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded at least one goal in 13 of their 14 games on the road.
Results have been poor for Cork City recently, with 4 losses and only 1 win from their last 6 league games their current form is not going to help them move up the table. Winning away from home has been a bit of a problem for them this season having only managed to win 1 of their 14 league games on the road.
Ruairi Keating will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Cork City.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Cork City who ended up empty-handed, losing 1-2 to Dundalk.
The Rebel Army defence has struggled at Oriel Park, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 6 visits.
Dundalk has had a good run of league results at home to Cork City, winning their last 6 meetings and being unbeaten in their last 6.
Dundalk player Patrick Hoban will be feeling confident about recording goals against Cork City ahead of this encounter, with a scoring record of 4 goals from their last 5 meetings.
There is only really one injury concern for the Dundalk manager Stephen O'Donnell ahead of this clash, with Keith Ward (Knock) missing out, which gives O'Donnell a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Cork City have been plagued by 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. Joseph O'Brien-Whitmarsh (Muscle) is also unavailable for The Rebel Army so manager Liam Buckley will be hoping no more of his players pick up a knock in this fixture.
