Shelbourne, Recent FormShelbourne will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-1 home win against St. Patrick's Athletic. In that game they had 65% possession and managed 28 attempts on goal, with 8 on target, compared to St. Patrick's Athletic who had 7 attempts and 4 on target.
Manager Damien Duff will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have conceded at least one goal in 11 of their 15 home games this season.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 8 games in a row.
Seán Boyd will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Shelbourne.
Cork City, Recent FormWhen Cork City last played in the league they faced Sligo Rovers and produced an outstanding 3-0 home win. They achieved 40% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Sligo Rovers' tally of 15 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Liam Buckley will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 6 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 11 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded at least one goal in 13 of their 14 games on the road.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win. Winning away from home has been a bit of a problem for them this season having only managed to win 1 of their 14 league games on the road.
Ruairi Keating will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Cork City.
It was one to forget for Cork City last time they met Shelbourne in the league, falling to a 0-2 defeat.
Shelbourne will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against The Rebel Army having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 12 meetings. In their past 5 meetings, The Shels' defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Cork City will have to take their chances when they come.
Shelbourne will be looking to continue their winning streak against Cork City having won in their last 6 meetings in the league.
Cork City 0 - 2 ShelbourneShelbourne 2 - 1 Cork CityCork City 1 - 3 ShelbourneWith only Seán Boyd (Hip) and Kameron Ledwidge (Knee surgery) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Damien Duff will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With both Darragh Crowley (Cruciate ligament) and Ethon Varian (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and Joseph O'Brien-Whitmarsh (Muscle) also unavailable in the shorter term, Cork City manager Liam Buckley will be relieved to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
