Football Bet of the Day: Cork to pull out all the stops

Cork City v Limerick
Friday 19:45

Ponte Preta 2 Avai 0 in the Brazilian Campeonato last night. The She Monkeys tamed the Lions and we leave South America unscathed.

Ireland's Premier League season is two-thirds done already. Cork City are running second, four points off the top. Tonight's game with bottom-of-the-table Limerick would have looked like a home banker for large parts of this season but, with nothing to lose, the visitors have recently found a bit of form.

Martin Russell's men have won back-to-back games at home (3-2 and then 4-3) and now bring a renewed goal threat to Turners Cross. On the road, the Super Blues have scored in 7/10 and six of those games have delivered Over 2.5 Goals in total.

John Caulfield's Cork, who have scored at least twice in 7/10 home games this season, should still have too much for them, of course, but at least there should be goals at both ends.

Six of Cork's 10 home matches have produced Over 2.5 Goals and, with both sides needing all three points and not a penny less, Friday night in Cork looks like it'll be a lively one.

Recommended Bet
Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.68/13 in Cork City v Limerick
