Our prediction for this Ireland Premier Division match:
After suffering elimination in the Conference League second qualifying round, Shamrock Rovers will look to get back on course when they take on Cork City on Matchday 26. The Hoops suffered four consecutive defeats in July, but the bookies still see them as favourites to win Sunday’s game. Even though both Neil Farrugia and Trevor Clarke remain in the recovery room, home win should be considered as Shamrock want this triumph more than Cork City.
Meanwhile, the Rebel Army experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 2-0 loss to Shelbourne, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the home side. As for the visiting team, talented midfielder Joe O’Brien Whitmarsh has joined the likes of Ethon Varian, Darragh Crowley, and Albin Winbo on the sidelines, with Aaron Bolger likely to replace the 18-year-old in the starting XI.
