Cork City form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Cork City so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-5 (win-draw-lose). It's looking increasingly bleak for Cork City who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Dundalk was the last time a defeat was avoided.

There might be some fixture complaints from Cork City as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 0-5 against Bohemians. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Bohemians was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.

Prior to that match, the Cork City manager Healy faced defeat when travelling to Shelbourne and losing 1-2.

Cork are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 7 goals in these matches.

Head 2 Head
