Our prediction for this Ireland Premier Division match:
Following a 3-0 loss to Derry City, Waterford will be looking to get back on course when they take on Sligo Rovers on Matchday 20. The Blues are on a three-game winning run at their Regional Sports Centre and they are likely to adopt an attack-oriented strategy against Sligo. Poland defender Kacper Radkowski is pushing for a start, while all Harvey Macadam, Cameron Cresswell, and Barry Baggley remain in the recovery room.
The Bit O’Red, meanwhile, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Shelbourne and Drogheda, but beating Waterford on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we predict that the two teams are going to share the spoils in Friday’s clash. You should bear in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of the previous four meetings between the two sides in the Irish top flight. The likes of Conor Reynolds, Simon Power, John Mahon, and Nando Pijnaker are injured for the visiting team.
