Shamrock Rovers welcome Waterford FC at Tallaght Stadium, Dublin on Friday, Sep 18 at 9:00 PM in a League of Premier Division fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.
Shamrock Rovers come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 3L). Waterford FC, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Shamrock Rovers head into this on the back of a defeat, while Waterford FC arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
History strongly favours Shamrock Rovers here — they've won 8 of 10 previous meetings against Waterford FC, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Shamrock Rovers won 1–0.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Shamrock Rovers a slight edge, but Waterford FC are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
