St Patrick's Athletic vs Cork City Lineups and Last Match

St Patrick's

St Patrick's made it to seventh heaven last time out against UCD. The home side scored 7-goals without replay at Richmond Park, starting with a spot kick from top goalscorer Forrester. An own goal from Gallagher made it 2-0 just before the break and an early goal in the second half from Curtis ended any faint hopes the visitors had of a comeback. Lonergan netted a brace and both Melia and McClelland also scored to wrap up a huge win for the title challengers.

Predicted Lineup – Lyness (GK), Breslin, Lewis, Curtis, McGrath, Forrester, Mulraney, Lennon, McCormack, Doyle & Carty

Cork

Cork played out a tight and tense 90-minutes at home to Drogheda in their last Premier Division game. Following a goalless first half, Drogheda took the lad in the 67th minute and looked like they would go on to win the game. However, a late equaliser from O-Brien-Whitmarsh rescued Cork a share of the spoils.

Predicted Lineup – Corcoran (GK), Gilchrist, Coleman, Čustović, Walker, O'Donovan, Bolger, Healy, O'Brien-Whitmarsh, Keating & Owolabi 

Starting Lineups

Player to Watch: Chris Forrester

St Patrick's top goalscorer is also one of their main assist providers and we're backing the striker to have another good game on Friday.

Cork look set to struggle in this game, especially after St Patrick's last match which ended in a 7-0 victory. Top goalscorer, Forrester opened the scoring in that game and head into Friday's clash with Cork in good form.

We're backing Forrester to score against Cork and help guide his team to yet another 3pts.
