Cork City Preview – Can Cork City stage recovery?
It’s been a miserable start to the new Irish Premier League season for Cork City who find themselves in early trouble down at the wrong end of the table as the hosts sit bottom of the division, winning just one of their first seven matches of the season to date.
That success came in the shape of a 1-0 home win against fellow strugglers and second from bottom outfit, Finn Harps, but five defeats out of their opening seven matches of this new Irish top flight campaign tells its own story.
Cork City have also lost two of their first three matches at Turners Cross with losses to Shelbourne and Bohemians and they need to click into gear soon or they’ll be fighting an uphill battle to not only make a challenge for a top three spot, but perhaps also to avoid unthinkable relegation.
Sligo Rovers Preview – Can Sligo Rovers win three on trot?
Friday’s visitors, Sligo Rovers, also made a disastrous start to their Irish Premier League campaign as they suffered four straight defeats on the trot, but they have staged a recovery in recent times, winning back-to-back matches which has lifted them up into third from bottom spot in the division.
Sligo Rovers had previously been handed defeats in the early stages of this season by Finn Harps, St Patrick’s Athletic, Bohemians and Shamrock Rovers, but recently, Sligo Rovers’s fortunes have changed as they’ve collected much-needed wins against Derry City 2-0 away and a 2-1 home win over Shelbourne.
These recent wins will be a massive boost for Sligo Rovers ahead of their upcoming trip to Turners Cross to face a surprisingly beleaguered Cork City outfit and the visitors know they stand a decent chance of walking away with something from this clash.
