Cork City form and stats

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Cork City have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won one time, drawn two and lost three.

With the first game of the season soon underway, it's time to look at the results from the Cork City friendly games in pre-season: Cork City played one friendly, won 1, drew 0 and lost 0. If you are really into statistics you might appreciate knowing that Cork City scored 2 goals and conceded 1 in these one game.

Last season, Cork City's league statistics were 9 wins, 10 draws and 17 losses, resulting in a 8th position in the Premier Division. Over these 36 matches they scored 29 goals and conceded 49. Playing at home last season Cork City managed 4-7-7 (win-draw-lost) with 16 goals and 23 conceded.

Shelbourne form and stats

We have checked recent matches where Shelbourne have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those two games were Wtwo-Dzero-Lzero.

Just as the home team, Shelbourne have been through a few friendly games in the intense training period that just finished. The results from these training matches are 2 Shelbourne wins, 2 draws and 0 losses.

A job perfectly done for Shelbourne last season as they secured promotion from First Division. With a grand total of 19 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats the season objective was secured. Of these wins, 9 were in away matches.
