Cork City FC vs Bohemian FC Prediction: The visitors should have it easy

Bohemian will hopefully bounce back to winning ways as they prepare to take on Cork City on Saturday. Bohemian lost their second league game of the season against Derry City while Cork City had theirs postponed. It’s glaring, Bohemian is the better team on paper and in terms of team strength and player quality and we will go with the obvious in this game. Our bet is on Bohemian. Let’s analyze both teams’ forms, key stats, and my expert opinion. 

Cork City FC (7th)

Form in all competitions: D

Cork City started the new season with a 2-2 draw against Galway United in their opening game. Cork City scored in the 34th minute but got pegged twice in the game. Their second game of the season against Shamrock Rovers was postponed and they’ll be hoping for a positive outcome against Bohemian here on Friday. They are currently 7th in the league table with a draw from a single game played. 

Bohemian FC (5th)

Form in the League: LW

Bohemian is part of the few that managed to secure a positive outcome on match day one alongside Waterford and Shelbourne. However, what’s more trifling about Bohemian’s victory is the fact that they got it against Shamrock Rovers, one of the strongest teams in the League of Ireland Premiership. Sadly, Bohemian couldn’t keep up the momentum as they lost to Derry City in their second league game of the season. The defeat was a narrow and painful one as a single goal from Derry in the 10th minute was the match decider. Bohemian will be hoping to continue winning ways as they take on Cork City on Friday. They have secured a win and a loss from the two games played in the league this season.
