There’s a considerable gap between these two sides, while recent clashes between them haven’t gone in Cork’s favour. Dundalk have won their last five clashes between these two, including a win back in March. They are heading to a Cork side who have won only twice in eight home clashes, so we expect Dundalk to pull off a result in this trip. They’ve been made firm favourites to land a sixth straight win when they head to Cork, so the away win looks likely.
Dundalk are firing themselves towards the title with a great scoring run, having scored twice or more in their last six matches. They’ve hit two goals in their last two visits to Cork, while we expect them to add another couple of goals here. We’re backing over 1.5 Dundalk goals on Friday night, given that the champions have hit eight goals in their last three away trips.
