Waterford take on the visitors St. Patricks at “Waterford Regional Sports Centre” in the matchday 22 of the Irish Premier Division. The game will be played in Waterford on Friday, June 8th.
Waterford are the elite division debutants, nevertheless, the side has all necessary qualities to win the Premier Division medals on a permanent basis. The matter is that after the club’s promotion to the elite division, its management applied all the efforts and made numerous measures to bring the team at the appropriate level. And results of that work can be easily seen: at the moment “The Blues” sit on the third place in the Premier Division table with 36 points collected. Although the side lost three out of four recent fights, it should be noted that those failures happened against rather strong opponents: Cork City, Dundalk and Limerick. Waterford demonstrate astonishing football in face of their fans, having gained 25 out of overall 36 points at the home ground. Besides, the team has won eight out of 10 home tackles.

In their turn, St. Patricks currently occupy the fifth position in the elite division standings with 30 points taken. The side lost three latest clashes in a row and the most bitter of them was 1:3 defeat from the hopeless outsider Bray in the previous round. Similar to their forthcoming opponents, “The Saints” look more convincing at their own turf, having got 20 points there. As for the club’s statistics on the road, St. Patricks failed seven out of 11 away encounters.
The teams met twice in this season, having swopped by the home triumphs: 2:0 in favour of Waterford and 1:0 in favour of St. Patricks. Although both rivals have produced unsustainable results recently, still, the hosts look more consistent in general while the visitors are extremely unpredictable, thus, “The Saints” are more likely to gain another loss.
Prediction for the match: Waterford to win.
