Match Preview

Ahead of our Derry City vs Cork City betting tips and betting advice, the home side’s form has been mixed. Although they have lost just once in eleven games, they have drawn matches far too often – drawing seven times in total during that sequence. Derry have won their last three home games on the trot, however.

Derry City vs Cork City Prediction and Betting Advice

In the reverse fixture between our featured clubs back in April, Cork put three past Derry in a resounding win at Turner’s Cross. Star striker Sean Maguire has hit five goals in his last two appearances and his performances this season have earned him a move to Preston North End; a transfer he will complete in July. His form plays a big part in our Derry City vs Cork City picks - Maguire will be keen to finish his Cork City career with a bang.

Cork City’s imperious form makes predicting anything other than an away win on Friday a foolish call. I’m tipping Maguire to inspire Cork to another victory.
