Wexford vs Cork City Prediction & Betting Tips (4 July)

Whether playing at home or away, defending Cork City have been absolutely brilliant for a sustained period of time now, as reflected by the fact that their last 20 top-flight matches have yielded 15 wins and five draws. For their part, Wexford are winless in nine league games in front of their own supporters, losing no fewer than six of these encounters.

Goals tend to be in short supply when Cork City come calling in the Division 1, with under 2.5 being served up in 12 of their previous 14 away matches, including in each of the last six. Given that six of the most recent eight Wexford games at this level have also fallen into this low-scoring category, a thriller does not appear to be on the cards.

Witnessing goals at both ends has been pretty uncommon in recent Wexford home matches in the second tier, with just four of their last 20 contests being devoid of any clean sheets. Given that both teams have scored in only two of the ten away games played by Cork City so far this season, it is hard to see that pattern changing here.
