Our prediction for this Ireland Premier Division match:
Cork City and Shelbourne go head to head at Turners Cross in what is expected to be a close Premier Division encounter. Cork City are on a five-game winless run in the national championship, but the FAI Cup win over Treaty United surely gave them a confidence boost. All Ethon Varian, Darragh Crowley, and Albin Winbo remain in the recovery room, while talented defender John O’Donovan is pushing for a recall to the starting XI.
Meanwhile, the Reds aim to recover from the Cup defeat to Bohemians, but beating the Rebel Army on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that both teams should be happy with one point from Friday’s clash. As for the away team, all Shane Griffin, Matthew Smith, and Brian McManus should miss out through injuries. You should knowd that under 2.5 goals have been netted in four of Cork City’s last five games in all competitions.
