Cork City and Limerick meet at Turner’s Cross in a match for the 16th round of the Premier League. The two teams tied (1-1) on 3/16/2018, the last time they faced each other in this edition of the league. At this stage, the history of direct confrontations is favorable to the home team, which has 4 wins and 2 losses in the last 6 games. Indeed, the last time they met at this stadium was on 29-09-2017, in an FAI Cup match that ended with Cork City’s 1-0 win. The only goal of the match was scored by G. Buckley (14 ‘). Although this is a game between 2nd and 9th overall, it is actually a game between the 3rd place in home games and the 6th as a visitor.
Review of Cork City
After 10 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, the home team is in 2nd place, having won 31 points. In the last match, he lost with Shamrock Rovers out (3-0), after having won the home game against Dundalk (1-0) in the last game. This is a team little affected by the house factor, since it has achieved similar results at home and abroad.

In this competition, he won the last 6 games he played in his stadium. In his home games there are some frequent scorers: 0-0 (4 out of 6 matches) and 1-0 (4 out of 6 matches). The defense has been in good shape and only conceded in 3 of the last 10 games, and his attack has regularly scored, as he has managed to achieve in 9 of the last 10 games in this competition. In his home matches there is a tendency to few goals, since 11 of his last 22 matches ended with Less than 1.5 goals. This is a team that scores many times first: opened the scoring in 11 of their last 14 Premier League games, of those 11 reached the break in lead in 7 and managed to maintain the lead until the end of the 90 ‘in 10.

Cork City arrive for this unmotivated match after suffering a 3-0 loss away from Shamrock. In this duel the home team should align on the tactical system 4-3-3, channeling their game, especially through midfield. In this drawing, the three most advanced pieces will be Sheppard, Cummins and McNamee. In the midfield we believe that Keohane, Morrissey and McCormack are the ones who play the middle field. For this match, coach John Caulfield should have all his players available.
Analysis of Limerick
After 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses, the visiting team is in 9th place, having won 13 points. In the last match, they lost with Derry City at home (0-3), after their previous match had won out in a game against Bray Wanderers, by (0-1). This is a team that normally achieves more positive results as a visitor than at home, having won 8 away and 5 points in their stadium, with 4 goals scored and 13 goals conceded at home, against 3 goals scored and 15 conceded. In the championship, the Limerick won 8 points in 21 possible, after 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in the last 7 games they played as a visitor. In the matches played out in the league, the most frequent result at the end of the first 45 ‘was 0-0, which occurred in 4 of his 8 matches. Defensive solidity has not been his strong point, having conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 games for this competition. In 15 games in this competition, he never managed to get back on the scoring in the 9 games in which he conceded the first goal.

Limerick arrive for this unmotivated game after suffering a 0-3 home defeat to Derry City. In the interim, the away team will play 5-3-2, tilting their game mainly through the middle. In this drawing, the two most advanced pieces will be Morrissey and Ellis. In the middle zone, we believe that Maguire, Clifford and Duggan are the ones who are the owners of this sector. For this match, coach Tommy Barrett will not be able to count on experienced midfielder Cian Coleman, suspended after receiving the red card in the last round.
