🏆 Dublin v Cork Prediction

This match is extremely fascinating as we now reach the knockout stages of the All-Ireland Championship. It is do or die for these teams, as a defeat will see them eliminated from the championship, ending their season. Dublin may no longer be the unbeatable force they once were, but wins over Galway and Derry in the group stage proved they’re still a serious contender. With more quality across the pitch and recent form in their favour, Dublin hold the edge over Cork which is why we’re backing them to win this preliminary quarter-final.

⚽ Dublin Squad Form

Dublin were shocked in the Leinster championship, losing their semifinal to Meath, their first defeat in the Leinster championship since 2010. They have since responded well, winning 2 of their 3 group games, in what was a tough group, defeating Galway and Derry but suffering a defeat to the reigning All-Ireland champions, Armagh.

⚽ Cork Squad Form

Cork went into their last game versus Roscommon knowing nothing other than a win and they would be out of the championship. They won the game to finish 3rd in the group and qualify for the preliminary quarter finals. This came after two defeats in their opening two games to Meath and rivals Kerry.
