Waterford FC
- Waterford FC have won their last two games, picking off Dundalk and Derry City on the road after a 0-2 home defeat to Shamrock Rovers.
- Graham Coughlan's team have won two of their last five at home, drawing two and losing one, and they are a solid side that play compact soccer and are dangerous on the counter and from set pieces.
- Waterford are unbeaten in four of their last 5 at the RSC, winning two and drawing two.
St Patrick's Athletic
- St Patrick's Athletic have won three of their last five.
- They have only drawn and lost across their last three trips away from home.
- Pats are favored to come out on top against Waterford FC on Friday and rightly so given the momentum they have created with three wins in their last five.
Key Players
- Lonergan has been on fire in his team's last 5, scoring five of their 14 goals in that run.
- Lonergan is a constant threat and Waterford's best player by a distance.
Betting Insights
- There is a case for backing the hosts in the double chance option.
- Consider Over 2.5 at 1.72 and both teams to score at 1.77.
Prediction
So, while Kenny's men are justifiably favourites, there is a little bit of the Blueboys in Waterford right now and it could be worth backing the hosts in the double chance option.
