Their recent encounter against Dundalk may not have gone as planned, but their resilience in the previous matches can't be overlooked. Cobh holds a commanding position in the league, currently nesting in 2nd place with 42 points from 21 matches, boasting 13 wins and only five losses.

Notably, their last outing ended in a resounding 0-4 loss against Bray Wanderers, which showcased their ongoing struggle to find the back of the net consistently.

Statistics indicate that while they manage to take a fair number of shots, they've found it challenging to convert those chances into goals. With only 15 goals scored this season, they will surely face an uphill battle against Cobh's robust defense.
