We think that Waterford will need things to go their way to put one past this Shelbourne outfit who we think might be able to grind out a win.
With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very competitive encounter with a 0-1 win for Shelbourne when the referee blows for full-time.
Looking forward to this.
