Goal Statistics

Sligo Rovers's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday evening, not least because Cork City FC have conceded in each of their last 5 Premier Division games. A PG of 1.7 for Ryan Casey's side suggests that run should continue.

An absolutely awful PG of just 0.8 should cause concerns for Cork City FC fans, as should a 5 Premier Division games run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
