St. Patricks Team News
After 24 matches, St Patricks is in second place in the table, with four points less than the first-placed Shamrock and two more than Derry City. Although, with a goal difference of 46:31, they are among the most efficient teams in the league, the fact that they conceded as many as 31 goals indicates that this is a segment of the game that they must improve if they want to keep their chances in the fight for the title.
The biggest problem for Patricks this season is away games. As host, St. Patricks recorded 25 points, and they are the best in the league in terms of performance at home, while away from home, they have five wins, two draws, and even five losses.
The best indicator for this is the defeat a couple of weeks ago against the team from the relegation zone, Drogheda, 2:1 on the road. Likewise, the previous round’s 7:0 win against UC Dublin shows the quality of the team when playing at home.
Cork City Team News
Before this round, Cork City is in ninth place in the table, in a position that leads to the Playoff with teams from the lower league. Considering that due to the vast point deficit, UC Dublin is the team everyone already sees as the last-placed team, Cork City will try to get to eighth place and ensure survival. Their main competitors in that mission are the teams of Drogheda and Sligo, who have two and four points more, respectively.
Cork has raised their level of play drastically of late, recording four consecutive victories, with which they have fully come back to life. After that, they were defeated by one of the contenders for the title, Derry City, 2:0, but one gets the impression that the visitors played a good game in that match as well.
The previous week, Cork welcomed one of the competitors for survival, Drogheda, and although they had a score deficit until the very end of the match, they won a significant point (1:1).

St. Patricks vs Cork City Prediction
With good play in the previous period and the setbacks of the main rivals, St. Patricks was fully involved in the fight for the title. If they want to preserve their chances, they must not lose points against teams from the lower half of the table, as in the first part of the season. Cork City is just such a team, and if we add the tradition is absolutely on the home side, everything except the victory of St. Patricks in this match would be a big surprise for us.
