Competition: Irish Premier Division
Market: Dundalk to win both halves
Odds: 8/11 @ Bet 365
Marching towards retaining their Premier Division title, a high-flying Dundalk will welcome Cork City to Oriel Park on Friday night.
Starting with the hosts, picking up another routine 2-0 win away at Sligo Rovers last weekend and extending their winning run to six matches on the bounce, Dundalk are marching towards retaining their Premier Division crown. Holding a seven-point buffer over Shamrock and also still dreaming of landing a famous domestic sweep, a huge part of their continued rise has been down to their form at Oriel Park. Vinny Perth’s men have won each of their last six matches in Dundalk and have not tasted a domestic defeat on home soil since August 2018.
As for the visitors, while Dundalk might be marching towards claiming back-to-back Premier Division titles, Cork City find themselves in a very different position. Coming off the back of another worrying display in their 2-1 loss at home to Waterford last weekend, the former champions are enduring a three-match losing run and their form on the road has played a huge part in what has been a woeful campaign. Cork have managed to record just a single victory on the road since the start of May and have famously struggled when up against Friday’s hosts. Suffering a 2-0 loss when the two sides met back in May, Cork have lost their last four matches against Dundalk.
Bet: Dundalk to beat Cork City in both halves 8/11 for Friday’s Irish Premier Division showdown @ Bet 365
