Shelbourne Preview – Can Shelbourne extend lead at top?
Shelbourne sit eight points clear at the top of the Irish First Division over 2nd placed Treaty United and the hosts will be looking to pick up a seventh win on the trot at their Tolka Park on Friday night when they take on Cork City.
Six wins on the trot have helped Shelbourne hold a commanding lead at the top of Irish second tier, while also contributing to an impressive 16-match unbeaten run in all matches overall, and they look hard to beat at the moment.
Shelbourne are also unbeaten in their last 18 matches at home and they’ve won two of the last three meetings against Cork City as well.
Cork City Preview – Can Cork win back-to-back?
It’s been 10 years since Cork City last found themselves in the Irish First Division but results so far this season suggest the visitors will be plying their trade in the domestic second tier again next season as well, having won just three of their 12 matches to date.
Two of Cork City’s wins have been recorded on home turf at Turner’s Cross but they’ve managed to pick up just one win on their travels so far this term, which came in the form of a 2-0 win away at Athlone Town last time out.
However, defeats at Cabinteely, Treaty United and Cobh Ramblers to date suggest this could be a tough outing for Cork here.
