There's been little loot from Cork City's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 11 away games in the First Division. Cork City only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 5 draws. Two points from the last two away games for Cork, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

The attacking players of Cork have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 244 minutes.

Cork has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Treaty United for a First Division game that ended a draw (0-0).

The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Shelbourne.

Cork are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, one draw and two defeats. From a total of five matches.

The attacking power of Cork City when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 11 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. It's not easy to score on Cork City as they have only conceded 10 goals from these away games.
