Our prediction for this Ireland Premier Division match:
Regional Sports Centre will host Thursday’s football game between Waterford and Shelbourne, the two top-table sides. Waterford quickly bounced back from a 3-0 loss to Derry City, with the team outclassing Sligo Rovers 4-1 in front of home fans. As a result, the odds for home win have been dropping. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but all Maleace Asamoah, Harvey Macadam, Cameron Cresswell, and Barry Baggley remain in the recovery room.
Meanwhile, the Reds aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Dundalk. Shelbourne defeated both St Patricks and Shamrock Rovers in the previous two away games, but beating Waterford on the road is easier said than done. You should bear in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of the previous six meetings between the two sides in all competitions. Former Chelsea ace Damien Duff should have a full squad to choose from.
