Shamrock Rovers vs Cork City Lineups and Last Match
Shamrock
Shamrock were last in Premier Division action back in early July when they made the trip to bottom half of the table, Drogheda United. The visitors went into the game in the midst of a rare losing streak and whilst they failed to win the game, a 0-0 draw saw Shamrock put an end to their run of defeats.
Predicted Lineup – Pöhls (GK), Kavanagh, Pico, Hoare, Cleary, Watts, Poom, Nugent, Gaffney, Burke & Noonan
Cork
Last time out, Cork played host to Shelbourne in what would be a disappointing performance and result for the home side. A goal in each half saw Shelbourne claim a comfortable 2-0 victory in the end, leaving Cork sitting second from bottom in the Premier Divison table with the second-worst goal difference by some distance.
Predicted Lineup – Byrne (GK), Gilchrist, Coleman, Čustović, Honohan, Stanulevičius, Coffey, O'Brien-Whitmarsh, Bargary, Owolabi & Drinan
Starting Lineups
*Lineups are usually announced 1hr before kick-off
Player to Watch: Jack Byrne
Byrne has performed well since making his return to Shamrock Rovers after a season at Cypriot side APOEL.
The 27-year-old midfielder is the creative force in this Shamrock side, setting up seven goals in the Premier Division alone this season. Byrne also has an eye for goal, chipping in with 4 league goals and making him the club's third-top goalscorer.
In a game against a poor defence such as Cork's, we're backing a player like Buryne, who not only creates goals but also scores them, to stand out as one of the best players on Sunday.
