Waterford

LDWLDW ⚖

Waterford, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following a 4-0 Premier Division triumph against Sligo Rovers.

In that game, Waterford managed 38% possession and 21 shots at goal with 7 of them on target. For Waterford, the scorers were Pádraig Amond (27', 72', 74') and Jørgen Voilås (67'). For their opponents, Sligo Rovers had 9 shots on goal with 2 on target.

Waterford have been finding it hard to keep clean sheets of late, but they have also found ways to convert their own chances into goals. Over their last 6 matches, Waterford have seen their goal breached in 5 of them as well as managing to get on the scoresheet in 6 of those games. Such a pattern isn’t assured to be sustained into this game, however.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Waterford:

• have not registered a win against Shamrock Rovers in their last 8 league matches.
• are undefeated in their last 6 home league matches.

Shamrock Rovers

After a loss in their previous game against Shelbourne in Premier Division action, Shamrock Rovers will be aiming to make amends here.

The stats tell the story, and Shamrock Rovers have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding 7 goals in total. At the back, Shamrock Rovers have been far from perfect.

Going into this one, Shamrock Rovers haven't been defeated by Waterford when they have played them away from home in the previous 11 league matches. Travelling fans must really look forward to this fixture.

ℹ️ Team News: Waterford

We are thinking that The Blues could make use of the 5-3-2 system for this one, handing starts to Stephen McMullan, Will Johnson, Hayden Cann, John Mahon, Kevin Long, Benny Couto, Jordan Houston, Dean McMenamy, Luke Heeney, Tommy Lonergan and Padraig Amond.

📰 Team News: Shamrock Rovers

Shamrock Rovers manager Stephen Bradley has some current player fitness concerns. Rory Gaffney (unknown injury) and Daniel Mandroiu (Cruciate ligament injury) miss out here. Dan Cleary will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

We are inclined to think that The Hoops seem most likely to utilise a 3-5-2 lineup, choosing Edward McGinty, Lee Grace, Enda Stevens, Tunmise Sobowale, Adam Brennan, Matthew Healy, Dylan Watts, Jake Mulraney, Jack Byrne, Graham Burke and Aaron Greene.

💭 Prediction

We feel that in this game, Waterford are certainly able to find the net against this Shamrock Rovers lineup, however a single goal may not prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We are therefore anticipating a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 win for Shamrock Rovers when all is said and done. Let’s see what happens here.
