Cork City vs Sligo Rovers Prediction & Tips
Cork City’s return to the Irish Premier Division has proven to be much tougher than expected. The team is bottom of the table with 15 points from 24 games and just two wins all season, the worst record in the league. Despite a recent cup victory against Leicester Celtic, things are much worse in the championship: eight defeats in the last 11 games reflect obvious systemic problems.
Sligo Rovers are also not having their best season, although they are showing greater solidity than their rivals and already have 23 points. John Russell’s team have won their last two consecutive matches, in the league against Derry City and in the cup against Dundalk, both by a solid 2-0 without conceding any goals. This could indicate that the team is beginning to find its playing structure and experiencing a boost in morale.
