Cork City travel to Kerry for a First Division fixture on Friday evening at Mounthawk Park. The match kicks off at 19:45 local time as the league leaders look to bounce back from consecutive away defeats.

They hold a commanding 20-point lead over Bray Wanderers but their recent form shows inconsistency, with two wins and three losses in their last five outings.

Recent form

Cork City’s last result was a 2-0 home win over Finn Harps on October 9th. That victory followed away losses to Athlone Town and Longford Town in the previous week. Their recent sequence reads WLLWL, a pattern they will be keen to correct against Kerry.

Head-to-head record

Recent encounters between the sides have favoured Cork City. They have won three of the last four league meetings, including a 3-1 home victory on August 7th. Kerry’s sole win in that run was a 1-0 result at Mounthawk Park back in May.
