Waterford United are set to host Shamrock Rovers at the Regional Sports Centre on matchday 30 of the League of Ireland Premier Division. Waterford are in seventh place in the league standings, while Shamrock Rovers are in first place. Here's our match prediction.
Waterford United have been virtually invincible on the pitch. As of now, they have gone six matches without a win, including a four-match losing streak.
In their recent league game against Bohemians, the Blues found themselves on the receiving end of a 2-1 away defeat. That result extended their losing streak in the league to three games.
John Coleman's men are back in familiar surroundings. They are aiming to end a two-match losing streak at the Regional Sports Centre. This comes after going five matches without a defeat, recording three wins and two draws.
Despite balancing European football, league duties, and domestic cups, Shamrock Rovers remain steady. The visitors have navigated eight games without defeat. During this period, they recorded five wins and three draws.
The Hoops' recent league game was against Cork City, and that match concluded in a 1-1 draw away from home. Before this, they beat Drogheda 5-4 on penalties in the quarter-finals of the FAI Cup.
On foreign territory, they have been a nightmare for teams in their own backyard. They have avoided defeat in four games and have lost just one of their last seven outings.
