Cork City Team News
Before this round, Cork City is in the penultimate place in the table, with 23 points, six less than Drogheda in the safe zone. With a total goal difference of 27:47, Cork has the second-weakest defense and offense in the league.
In addition, the home team’s form is not at an enviable level, which is also indicated by the fact that they have been without a win in the previous seven rounds. In that period, they recorded only two draws (Drogheda 1:1 and St. Patricks 1:1), with as many as five defeats (Dundalk 1:2, Derry City 2:0, Sligo 3:0, Shelbourne 0:2 and Shamrock 2:1).
The match against UC Dublin is “to be or not to be” for Cork, as a setback against the weakest team in the league would further complicate an already difficult situation in the table. We believe they will go into the match on the offensive to get an early advantage that would make the game easier for them.
We're back at Turner's Cross this Friday, as we take on UCD!

UC Dublin Team News
The only team weaker than Cork City in all parameters is UC Dublin. After 25 matches, they are in last place in the table, with only nine points won, fourteen points less than today’s rivals, Cork City, and even 20 from Drogheda, outside the relegation zone.
Since the start of the championship, UC Dublin has scored only 14 goals, conceding as many as 66, by far the most of all teams in the league, and the fact that their total goal difference is -52 is devastating for a team that competes in the most elite level of Irish football.
In the previous ten rounds, UC Dublin recorded only one victory against Sligo Rovers 2:1, while they lost in the remaining nine matches. In the last four games, UCD recorded four failures, with only one goal scored and a total goal difference of 1:16.
