Cork City form and stats

It's not happening yet for Cork City on their First Division travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 15 away games in a row. It's looking increasingly bleak for Cork who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Cobh Ramblers was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Cork play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Treaty United (placed 4th). Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus Shelbourne.

It's early days yet, but Cork City has scored 1 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's one Bray Wanderers victory, zero draws and nine Cork City wins. Over/under statistics; seven of these games ended with three goals or more, three matches with two goals or less.
