Cork City Team News
Cork City was promoted last season from First Division as a champion. They started a new season in Premier Division very badly. They are 9th in the table with three wins after 16 games and 12 points. They are six points above UC Dublin and five points behind Drogheda.
They were in a terrible run of six straight defeats before they beat Sligo last week by 1:0. That was their first win after more than a month and a half.

Cork City vs Shamrock Rovers Prediction
These two teams have very efficient games this season. When Cork is playing there are 3.25 goals per game and when Shamrock is playing there are 3.06 goals per game. Cork and Shamrock are two of the most entertaining teams in the league in terms of goals in their games.
They already have played one incredible game which ended with eight goals, and we are expecting another interesting game between these two teams.
Shamrock is a big favourite here simply because they are a much stronger team and title contender.
