I don’t expect tonight’s clash between Cork City and Galway United will be the entertaining encounter one expects from the top two in the First Division. 

Games between top teams in most leagues tend to be underwhelming. That’s because both are understandably more concerned about not losing than winning the fixture unless it comes in the final weeks of a campaign. A draw would leave both sides in a healthy position with months still to play. I'd imagine both managers would be of that opinion.
