Based on last 50 matches in "Ireland. Premier Division", up to 05/12/2023
To build a prediction for the Dundalk - Cork City match, scheduled for 12 May 2023, several key factors could influence the outcome. Dundalk have played 50 matches, in which they won 24 of them, drew 16 times and lost 10 matches. Cork City, having played 50 matches, won 7 times, drew 14 matches and lost 29 defeats. In the league, Dundalk average 1.5 goals scored per game and 0.9 conceded. Cork City average 0.8 scored and 1.8 conceded. These sides last met on 9 April 2023 at Cork City's ground, where the home side came out on top.
I suggest backing the home team's win here, and here's why. The home team are fighting for the top places, and dropping points against outsiders is not an option for them, especially since they are in good form, which cannot be said about Cork City. Therefore, I am focusing on the former.
