Roscommon v Cork Prediction: Preview, Odds & Betting Tips (2025)

🏆 Roscommon v Cork Prediction

Roscommon started their group stage with a heavy loss, falling to Kerry in Killarney with a score of 3-18 to 0-17. Davy Burke’s team was unable to make a significant impact against the Kingdom, following up their disappointing Connacht exit to Galway with this defeat. In their second match, Roscommon faced Meath at Dr. Hyde Park, resulting in a thrilling 2-15 to 0-21 draw that showcased some back-and-forth action. This performance kept their qualification hopes alive as they entered the final day of the group stage.

On the other hand, Cork has suffered back-to-back losses in their Group 2 campaign. They began with a 1-13 to 0-12 loss to Meath in Navan and then faced a substantial defeat against their old rivals, Kerry, with a score of 1-28 to 0-20. To have a chance at making it to the preliminary quarterfinals, Cork must secure a win, but given their current form, confidence in John Cleary’s team is hard to come by.

Earlier in the championship, Cork came close to defeating Kerry in the Munster semi-final, pushing the All-Ireland favourites to extra time. However, they have been unable to build on that performance. Roscommon, despite their disappointing outings against Galway and Kerry, showed some signs of life in their match with Meath. This has made them slight favourites according to many of the best betting sites , and we predict a narrow victory for Roscommon in their All-Ireland SFC match against Cork on June 14th. The draw with Meath remains the best result either team has achieved in the group stages, and we believe Roscommon can capitalise on that momentum to secure a hard-fought win and advance in the competition.

⚽ Roscommon Squad Form

Davy Burke’s men hit five 2-pointers against Meath, showing the scoring ability his team possesses. Enda Smith and Diarmuid Murtagh were particularly impressive with their long-range shooting as Roscommon deservedly drew the match. The form of Smith will be vital to Roscommon’s chances as fans and management alike look to the 2023 All-Star to regain that level of form once again.

⚽ Cork Squad Form

When Cork took Kerry to extra-time in their Munster semi-final, many thought it might be a turning point in Cork’s fortunes. Alas, that performance has appeared to be yet another false dawn for the Leesiders. A drab 1-13 – 0-12 loss to Meath was backed up by an 11-point drubbing by Kerry in Pairc Ui Chaoimh.

To claim the much-needed win, Cork will need chief scorers Brian Hurley, Chris Og Jones and Mark Cronin at the top of their games when they play Roscommon. As well as their forward threats, they will require big showings from the likes of Ian Maguire, Matty Taylor and Brian O’Driscoll, as only a win will guarantee Cork’s further participation in this year’s Championship.
