Our prediction is: Cork City win or draw

Our top tip for this match is to bet Cork City to win or draw on the Double Chance market.

While it is tough to go away from home and pick up a positive result like a win or a draw, we have seen through recent form and season statistics that Cork City has what it takes to accomplish that task. And the fact that Cork City only needs to avoid defeat makes it a more achievable result.

Our prediction is: Galway United to win the 1st half

Galway United comes into their match with Cork City with a lot going for them. Apart from being the superior side based on form and statistics, they also have the added advantage of being at home.

The odds for an outright home win on the 1X2 market are not that appealing, so we recommend taking Galway United to win the first half to get the most value out of your bet.
