Waterford
DWLDWL ⚖
Following on from suffering a loss in their previous game against Shamrock Rovers in Premier Division competition, Waterford will be hoping to turn things around here.
Dylan Watts (37') and Michael Noonan (84') scored for Shamrock Rovers.
Showing their partiality to action-packed matches, goals have been celebrated 22 times in the previous 6 matches in which Waterford have taken to the pitch, yielding a mean average of 3.67 goals each meeting. Their opponents have hit 10 from this total. Despite that, we’ll just have to find out whether such a trend might be replicated in this upcoming game or not.
Going into this encounter, Waterford are without an away win for the past 15 league games. Their travelling supporters must be so depressed.

🔮

It’s likely that Waterford will do really well to find the back of the net against a Dundalk team who will most probably control this match, should everything go as we’re expecting.
We’re tipping a comprehensive 3-0 winning margin for Dundalk after 90 minutes.
