Waterford Cork City betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this challenge will be the occurrence of some goals. It is certain that a game controlled by the home team is expected, as a whole, however, Cork are going through a bad moment and need to start reacting. It should be noted that the average goal is relatively high in Waterford games, with “Over 1.5 Goals” being a winning market in three of Waterford's last four matches.

Preview
Waterford United and Cork City face at Waterford Regional Sports Centre, in a match for the 7th round of the Premier Division. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the away team, since they have a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the last 6 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 16‑08‑2019, in a match for the Premier Division, Cork City won by (1‑2). The goals of the match were scored by J. Lunney (88' ), for Waterford United, and by C. McCarthy (48' ) and M. O’Sullivan (69' ), for Cork City. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Waterford

The home team is currently in the 6th position of the league, with 6 points won, after 2 wins and 2 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Shamrock Rovers, by (0‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against Derry City, by (2‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 21 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses at their stadium, with 17 goals scored and 22 conceded. In the last 10 home matches Waterford United has won 4, tied 2 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 3 of the last 4 matches for this competition.

Waterford come to this match motivated after a 0-1 away win over Shelbourne: Martin, in the 15th minute, was the hero of the match by scoring the only goal. The home team usually play in a 4-3-3, where the three most advanced men are Matty Smith, Kurtis Byrne and Ali Coote. Martin, Griffin and Weir may play in the midfield, the latter being the midfield boss. Coach John Sheridan should be very pleased to have the entire squad at his disposal.

Confirmed Lineup: Brian Murphy, Tummise Sobowale, Tyreke Wilson, Robert McCourt, Sam Bone, Robbie Weir, Shane Griffin, Alistair Coote, Matthew Smith, Michael O’Connor, Kurtis Byrne.

Analysis Cork

The away team is currently in the 9th position of the league, with 3 points won, after 1 win and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Finn Harps, by (1‑0). In the last match, they lost in an away match against St. Patrick's Ath., by (1‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 7 goals scored and 27 conceded; against 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses at their stadium, with 14 goals scored and 20 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Cork City has won 2 and lost 8. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 4 of the last 5 matches, and their offense hasn’t been one of their best features, as they haven’t scored any goals in 4 of the last 5 matches for this competition.

Cork arrive for this match unmotivated after a 0-1 home defeat to Bohemians. The away team should play in a 4-3-3 tactical system, channeling their game, preferably, through the center aisle. In this tactical formation, the three most advanced players should be Dalling, McGlade and Murphy, with emphasis on the last, very competent in the aerial game. Byrne, Ochieng and Coleman are expected to play in the midfield, the latter being the midfield boss. Coach Neale Fenn should have all the players available for this round.

Confirmed Lineup: Mark McNulty, Joseph Olowu, Rob Slevin, Alan Bennett, Kevin O'Connor, Uniss Kargbo, Cian Coleman, Cory Galvin, Henry Ochieng, Cian Murphy, Daire O'Connor.
