Goal Statistics

Waterford FC's fans will be hoping for goals on Friday evening, not least because Cork City FC have conceded in each of their last 21 Premier Division matches. A PG of 1.8 for John Coleman's side suggests that run should continue.

Goals have been a problem for Cork City FC of late. It has been 5 Premier Division games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.4 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Friday evening against Waterford FC.
