Our prediction for this Ireland Premier Division match:
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Sligo Rovers, Dundalk will be aiming to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Waterford in their first game after the mini break. All Jamie Gullan, Ross Munro, Koen Oostenbrink, and Dara Keane remain in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Blues, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Shelbourne and seeing that Dundalk are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that the visitors are going to return to South East Ireland with their hands empty. Friday’s game comes too early for Maleace Asamoah, with fellow midfielder Barry Baggley remaining in the recovery room as well. In their last meeting in the Irish top flight Waterford crushed Dundalk 4-1, meaning that the hosts are eager to get their revenge on the visiting side.
