Dundalk hosts Waterford in round 15 of the Irish Premier Division. The match will be played on Friday, June 11th at Oriel Park (Dundalk)
Dundalk became the champion of Ireland five times in 2014-2019. At the same time, the Lilywhites managed to win the cup a couple of times and took other internal trophies more than once. But most importantly, Dundalk debuted in the group stage of the European Cup. In 2016, the club first reached the decisive round of the Champions League qualification, where it lost to the Warsaw Legia. Then the Lilywhites played in the same group with Zenit and even managed to earn one point thanks to a draw with AZ Alkmaar. However, the recession began in 2020. At first, the gold medalist fell to 3rd place, and now it is on the 7th line with 17 points scored after 14 rounds. And Dundalk earned six points in two of the last three matches.

Waterford was once a regular in European competitions. And it even became the champion of the country six times in the 60s and 70s. But having returned to the elite, the team was only in the middle of the standings (for example, it took a modest 5th place in 2020). The new championship began unsuccessfully, with defeats to Drogheda and Sligo Rovers. But then the Blues beat Derry City away (1-2). Who knew that they would win only once and lose all games in the next 12 rounds? May ended with a 3-0 defeat to Bohemians, and it was the 7th consecutive loss for Waterford. Of course, it is this club that rounds out the standings with six points. But at the beginning of the summer, there were some updates in terms of the management. Perhaps these changes in the structure of investors will have a beneficial effect on the team as a whole?
In the previous season, Waterford earned four points in the league after losing to Dundalk in the cup. In April, the Lilywhites hammered the outsider with a 0-3 score. Yes, Dundalk is having its worst season in recent years. But it started to get in shape in late spring and must continue to improve its results. Waterford looks very bad. We bet on the hosts to win with a -1.5 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Dundalk to win with -1.5 handicap
