Cork v Bohemians

Cork City vs Bohemians Preview

A resurgent Cork City will welcome Bohemians to Turner's Cross on Monday evening for this upcoming clash in the Irish Premier Division as the hosts go in search of collecting a fourth league win on the trot after having had to endure a harrowing period of results beforehand.

Cork City were subject to a six-match losing streak from mid-April through to mid-May which included defeats on home soil to Derry City and St Patrick's Athletic along with a 5-0 thrashing away from home at the hands of Monday's upcoming opponents, Bohemians.

However, Cork City have responded in positive fashion by winning their last three matches on the trot with victories over Sligo Rovers, Shamrock Rovers and Drogheda United, to keep the hosts in touch with the teams above them as they still occupy the relegation play-off spot in the Premier Division table heading into this encounter.

Results at home though continue to be sporadic as Cork City have managed just four wins out of their last 14 games at Turner's Cross.

Bohemians bring a three-match unbeaten run into this Monday evening's clash at Turner's Cross having picked up points in draws with Dundalk and Shelbourne, along with a 2-0 home win against Sligo Rovers on Friday night.

The visitors currently occupy third place in the Irish Premier Division standings and just three points behind the league leaders, Shamrock Rovers, with a game in hand so they know that all three points at Cork City on Monday evening would at the very least keep up the pressure on the top two clubs in the division.

Recent results though have produced mixed returns for Bohemians of late as the visitors have collected just four wins from their last 11 matches overall which consist of wins against Derry City, Drogheda United, Cork City (5-0 at home) and Sligo Rovers, while also slipping to four defeats as well.

Interestingly, three of these four losses were incurred on home soil at their Dalymount Park, while on the road, Bohemians have been a tough unit to beat in recent times as they have lost just once in their last seven outings, picking up four wins in the process.

Cork City v Bohemians Verdict

Cork City will be in a much more confident frame of mind ahead of this upcoming encounter with Bohemians as the hosts look to break the hold that the visitors have had over them in previous exchanges.

Bohemians have held the upper hand over Cork City in no uncertain terms in previous tussles as the visitors have won each of the last five meetings on the trot and they look set for further success here.
