Waterford

LLLLLW

Waterford come into this match following a 2-1 Premier Division win over Derry City in their previous fixture.

In that game, Waterford had 41% possession and 10 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. For Waterford, the goals were scored by Darragh Leahy (40') and Pádraig Amond (65'). Derry City had 15 attempts on goal with 5 on target. Liam Boyce (94') was the scorer for Derry City.

It is worth noting that Waterford have made hard work of scoring goals over their previous six encounters, contributing the poor return of only 4. In those matches, The Blues have also seen the overall goal tally of their opponents equal 13. We will find out whether or not that trend will end up being sustained in this game.

Analysis of their past results shows that Waterford:

• have not been beaten by Bohemian FC in away games against them for the last 3 league games.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 4 matches in the league.

ℹ️ Team News: Bohemian FC

We are thinking that The Bohs will possibly use a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game with Kacper Chorazka, Niall Morahan, Robert Cornwall, Sean Grehan, Jordan Flores, Keith Buckley, Dawson Devoy, Ross Tierney, James Clarke, Dayle Rooney and Colm Whelan.

📋 Team News: Waterford

Waterford boss Matt Lawlor has a number of players out of action. Trae Coyle (Hamstring injury) and Matty Smith (Knee injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We believe The Blues seem likely to make use of a 4-3-3 system using Stephen McMullan, Tom Lonergan, Grant Horton, Kacper Radkowski, Ryan Burke, Conan Noonan, Darragh Leahy, Kyle White, Sam Glenfield, James Olayinka and Padraig Amond.

🧠 Prediction

Our thinking is that Bohemian FC will most probably create enough chances to score more than one when they come up against Waterford, who could well find it tough to break down their defence.

We’re predicting a 2-0 winning margin for Bohemian FC at the conclusion of the game.
