Cobh Ramblers vs Longford Prediction & Betting Tips (2 August)

Nine wins from their previous 11 home games in the Division 1 suggests that Cobh Ramblers are a force to be reckoned with on their own patch, and they need to keep on winning in order to maintain their bid for promotion. Longford, meanwhile, are battling to beat the drop, which is not surprising when you consider that they have suffered nine defeats in their last 13 matches.

Over the course of their last 13 matches at the top table of the Division 1, Longford have not been involved in too many thrillers, with two goals or fewer being served up ten times. It has been a similar story in Cobh Ramblers home games at this level of late, as under 2.5 goals has been the order of the day 13 times out of a possible 18, so this pattern is expected to continue.

At least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from each of the previous five Cobh Ramblers matches in the Division 1, so there is no reason to see this pattern changing against Longford. One reason for this is that it has also been the case in each of the Toffees’ last three away games at this level, so both teams are on the same page.
