Cork City form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Cork City's two home games in the Premier Division so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Turner's Cross.

Cork drew their last game, 2-2 away at Sligo Rovers (after extra-time) (placed 4th). Opportunity lost for Cork City in the Sligo Rovers match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw. Keating has beaten the opponent goalkeeper in three games in a row. Impressive!

4-4 away at Shamrock Rovers (after extra-time) before that.

Early season league goal statistics from Cork City's 2 home games: {5 goals}, 2 conceded.
