Cork City hosts Galway FC in the 4th round if the Republic of Ireland Premier League.
Cork City has 5 points in the first three rounds but they played maybe the best football in the Premier League … they drew away from home with strong teams like Sligo Rovers and Shamrock … which is really impressive … and beat Limerick at home 5-0 (Limerick being a pretty similar side with Galway). The hosts were very close to win the title last season, missing it by only 2 points and they are again among the favorites this season.

Premier League newcomers Galway are one of the big favorites for relegation this season, only Bray Wanderers are worse than them and maybe Limerick. Galway did not impress too much even in Division 1 last season, finishing 3rd (barely) and promoting via playoffs. Visitors have three points so far after beating Drogheda 1-0 at home last round … previously losing to Bohemians and Derry City.
I think Galway could get a nice amount of points at home this seaosn but as far as playing away, they do not have the quality to compete … especially not with top sides like Cork. The hosts are playing great football at the moment, picking up where they left off last year. They have a lot of confidence and excellent chemistry, with the Dennehy brothers playing lights out in the first three rounds. With the draw opening up after two very hard games in the first 3 rounds … for sure they fancy a win today and I am confident they will get it without problems, like they did in the last home game vs. Limerick.
My tip will be the hosts at Cork City to win easily and cover a 1,25 asian handicap in the process. Correct score prediction: Cork City – Galway FC 3-0.
Pick: Cork City (-1,25 Asian Handicap)
