Cork City is standing at the second position and they are still in race for the title. The leader at the table, Dundalk, have only three points more.
Dundalk will play against UCD Dublin, team from relegation, and they should win this match easy, so Cork City have to win today if they want to still fight for the title.
Home team is not impressive in attack. In the last six wins, five matches were finished with the same result 1-0.
But, on the other side Cork City have the best defence in Irish Premier League.
Michael Rafter (0/0 f) is out, while Gearóid Morrissey (24/2 m) and John O’Flynn (9/1 f) are both doubtful.
Sligo Rovers is standing at the 5th position and they have small chances to reach the 3rd position which leads in qualifications for the UEFA Europa League, so it’s questionable are they really motivated.
They have managed to win only once in their last five matches (1-1-3).
For today’s match they have many problems with the absences, especially in defence.
Iarfhlaith Davoren (5/0 d), Kalen Spillane (18/0 d), Jeff Henderson (15/0 d), Alan Keane (19/2 d) and the second top scorer John Russell (21/5 m) are all out, while the first goalkeeper Gary Rogers (26/0 gk) and Gavin Peers (8/0 d) are both doubtful.
Cork City should win this one. Odds for home win are dropped, but it still have value.
Cork City vs Sligo Rovers Betting Tip: 1 @ 1.70 (Bet365)
