Shamrock Rovers moved up to fourth in the Irish Premier Division after beating Waterford 2-0 on Friday. They look for another home win when hosting Cork City who are ninth in the table. Here's our match prediction.
Rovers are four points behind the leaders Drogheda United but have played a game less. After a busy time in Europe, they started the new Irish Premier Division slowly with one point from their first three games.
They have recovered well though with a run of 13 points from the five games that have followed. Their last two games have been won and they have kept three consecutive clean sheets. Rovers are yet to concede a home league goal this season.
Cork City only have Sligo Rovers below them in the table. They are two points from safety and have only won one of their eight league games this season. The newly-promoted side lost 2-0 at home to St Patrick's Athletic on Friday evening.
That was their second successive league defeat and they have gone six league games without a win. On the road, City have one point from their four away fixtures. Only one of their last 12 away league games has been won.
We tip Shamrock Rovers to win this match, leadinig at half and full time.
