Odds: 1.6

The upcoming match in the League of Ireland Premier Division will feature Waterford and Drogheda. The match will take place at RSC Waterford in Waterford.

Waterford

Waterford enjoyed a remarkable 2023-24 campaign, finishing second in the League of Ireland First Division to secure promotion to the top flight after a two-season hiatus. This season, they have turned out to be a surprise package, occupying 7th place after 32 games and are 11 points ahead of the relegation play-off.

Since their 2-1 win over Dundalk, which halted a two-match losing streak, it seems the same inconsistency is starting to haunt them as a recent 2-1 defeat at the hands of Galway United extended their losing run to two games. Keith Long's wards have collected just three points from their last five games (L4), and this could be a contributing factor to yet another unfavourable outcome at home where they've lost four of their last six games.

Drogheda

Drogheda, who earned promotion to the top flight in the 2020-21 season after a four-year absence, has been accustomed to finishing in the middle of the table. Last season, they finished in seventh place, bettering their 8th place finish from the 2019-20 season. In the current season, they are flirting with relegation located in the bottom two of the table with 32 points amassed from 32 games.

There have been signs of improvement in the past few weeks as the Drogheda-based side is trying to make amends for their poor display this season. They have prioritised consistency in the domestic cup, where they have progressed to the final of the FAI Cup after defeating Wexford 3-2 and can count on themselves to lift the prestigious trophy. Currently unbeaten in their last three league games (W2, D1), it goes without saying they are high on confidence and could bag a three-pointer in this upcoming encounter.

  • Waterford Probable Starting XI:Sargeant; Power, Horton, Leahy, Radkowski, Burke, McMenamy, McDonald, Baggley, Bellis, Amond
  • Drogheda Probable Starting XI:Dennison; Quinn, Webster, Bolger, Ahui, Brennan, Farrell, Kane, Markey, James-Taylor, Pierrot
