Cobh Ramblers

Summary

This is an intriguing matchup between two sides chasing points for very different reasons.


Longford Town are fighting to break into the top five and keep their playoff hopes alive, currently sitting just three points off that spot. Meanwhile, Cobh Ramblers are pushing for the top position, which they trail by four points.


The stakes couldn’t be higher: a defeat for Longford would effectively end their season, while failure for Cobh to close the gap in these final two games would mean missing out on direct promotion and facing the uncertainty of the playoffs.

What we say

Both Teams to Score


This fixture has all the makings of an open, attacking game. A draw serves neither side, so both will be forced to push forward. Longford’s home goal difference of 24:22 in 17 matches, combined with Cobh’s away record of 29:19, points to plenty of goal-scoring potential. With both teams desperate for a result, both teams to score looks like a very reasonable prediction here.
