Competition: Irish First Division

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 19/20 @ 888sport

Two sides who find themselves battling it out at the top of Ireland’s First Division, Galway will host Cork City on Friday night.

Starting with the hosts, although Galway might still find themselves battling it out at the top of the table, they are in the midst of a hugely worrying run of form. In their 27 First Division matchups so far this season, they have recorded 16 wins, six draws and five defeats, scoring 49 and conceding 22 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 54, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat second in the table and holding a commanding 21-point buffer from slipping out of the play-off places. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 1-1 draw away at Cobh Ramblers, Galway have failed to win any of their last five First Division contests. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, Friday’s hosts have seen each of those five straight matchups finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, continuing on what has been a rampant run of form this year, Cork City are cruising their way towards a Premier Division return. In their 27 second-tier matchups so far this season, they have recorded 16 wins, six draws and five defeats, scoring 49 and conceding 22 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 54, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat second in the standings and holding a commanding 10-point buffer over the chasing pack. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 2-1 victory away at Waterford, Cork City have lost just one of their last five First Division matchups. However, it should be noted, with Friday’s guests seeing three of their last four second-tier contests finish with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
