Shamrock Rovers return to Irish Premier Division action after their European exploits ended on Thursday. Rovers are ninth out of ten in the table and are home to fifth-placed Cork City. Can City cause an upset this Sunday? Here's our match prediction.
The home side lost to Molde on Thursday in the Knockout Play-off round of the UEFA Conference League. It took a penalty shootout to eliminate them. Rovers played in all three European competitions this season.
Their Irish Premier Division season began last weekend when they lost 1-0 at Bohemians. Rovers finished second in the table last season, ending a run of four successive titles. The Hoops won nine home league games last season with only three defeats.
Newly-promoted Cork City got life back in the Irish Premier Division with a 2-2 draw at home to Galway, twice coming from behind. Last season saw them win Division One by 22 points. They are a bit of a yo-yo club as they had been relegated the previous season.
Before the draw with Galway, Cork were beaten 2-1 by Cobh Ramblers in the Munster Senior Cup. Only one point has been earned from their last five league visits to Shamrock Rovers. We tip Shamrock Rovers to win this match.
