Cork City, Recent FormLiam Buckley will have some work to do building up his players after their 5-0 away thrashing at the hands of Dundalk. Their share of possession in that meeting was 42%, while racking up 8 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Dundalk, who had 16 shots on goal with 6 on target.
Buckley will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 13 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 7 goals they managed at the other end. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table.
Goalscorer Ruairi Keating will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Cork City.
St. Patrick's Athletic, Recent FormThe St. Patrick's Athletic players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Drogheda United recently, that ended in a 2-1 defeat. In that game they had 64% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Drogheda United who had 5 attempts and 3 on target.
Manager Jon Daly will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 8 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 5 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. Their goal scoring streak away from home now stands at 9 games in a row.
On an individual basis, Joe Redmond has scored in each of St. Patrick's Athletic's last league game away from home.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
Saints will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Cork City, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 11 meetings between the two. Goals come easy for St. Patrick's Athletic when they travel to The Rebel Army, having recorded 6 goals in their past 3 visits and an impressive average of 2 goals per match.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams at Turners Cross Stadium, St. Patrick's Athletic has taken all 3 points and has not lost away to Cork City in 5 games.
Cork City 1 - 1 St. Patrick's AthleticCork City manager Liam Buckley has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Darragh Crowley (Cruciate ligament), Kevin Čustović (Knock) and Ethon Varian (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Despite Tom Grivosti (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season St. Patrick's Athletic manager Jon Daly will be pleased to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from ahead of this fixture.
