Drogheda vs Cork City Live Score and Live Stream

Preview

Drogheda go head-to-head with Cork City in the Premier Division of Ireland on May 5, with the match kicking off at 16:00 UTC.

A month after their last face-off in Premier Division, tensions run high as Drogheda and Cork City meet again. In their last encounter, neither side could break the deadlock, ending in a 1-1 draw. Following a recent loss to Galway last Friday, Drogheda aim to regroup and turn things around in this upcoming clash, but they remain winless over their last three matches. Before Cork City, they will play Sligo Rovers in Premier Division, and how they perform in this game could set the tone for their encounter with Cork City.

Cork City approach this clash having drawn with Sligo Rovers last Saturday, bringing their unbeaten streak to two. They have an important match to navigate before facing Drogheda though, taking on Shamrock in Premier Division, a game that could impact their momentum heading into the match against Drogheda. Their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have been conceding goals for nineteen consecutive matches now.

This Premier Division clash shines a light on the players who have played crucial roles in creating and converting chances for Drogheda and Cork City in this campaign. Warren Davis and Darragh Markey have been pivotal for Drogheda’s attack, shaped by Kevin Doherty’s vision, combining to deliver important goals and assists. Davis has already scored five goals in Premier Division this season, and is also the team’s top assist provider, with one key pass leading to a goal so far this term. Conor Keeley, Luke Heeney and Thomas Oluwa have also played key roles, contributing with goals and assists to fuel Drogheda’s attack.

Meanwhile, Cork City’s attacking options, crafted under Tim Clancy’s leadership, have been bolstered by Kitt Nelson, the team’s top scorer, and Ruairi Keating, both of whom have contributed crucial goals. Nelson has emerged as Cork City’s leading scorer in Premier Division this season, netting four goals, while Shipston remains their top assist provider in the competition with two. Adding further support are Sean Maguire, Darragh Crowley and Malik Dijksteel, who have combined to deliver key goals and assists for the team.
