Competition: FAI Cup
Market: Both teams to score
Odds: 11/10 @ 888sport
Two sides who turn their attention back to FAI Cup duties this weekend, Cork City will host Premier Division outfit St Patrick’s Athletic on Friday night.
Starting with the hosts, while Cork City might almost find themselves sat in First Division limbo, they are in the midst of what has been an extended unbeaten run of late. In their 20 second-tier matchups so far this season, they have recorded five wins, seven draws and eight defeats, scoring 27 and conceding 24 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 22, they currently sit down in seventh spot and are already 11 points adrift of finding a route into the promotion places. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 2-2 draw against Cabinteely on the road, Cork are unbeaten in each of their last seven matchups across all formats. Gaining a reputation for their lively outcomes, it should also be noted that Friday’s hosts have seen four of their last five contests finish with both teams finding the net.
As for the visitors, hit with what could turn out to be a crucial defeat last time out, St Patrick’s Athletic are a side who will be desperately seeking a boost on Friday. In their 25 Premier Division matchups so far this season, they have recorded 14 wins, five draws and six defeats, scoring 43 and conceding 28 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 47, they currently find themselves sat second in the top-flight standings and three points adrift of league leaders Shamrock Rovers. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a shock 3-1 defeat away at the Finn Harps, St Patrick’s Athletic have lost three of their last four away fixtures. Likewise, with each of their last four matchups across all formats finishing with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
