Waterford vs Drogheda Prediction 23.05.2024

• Competition: Ireland Premier Division
• Date: 23.05.2024
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CEST
• Venue: Regional Sports Centre (Waterford)

Waterford's winning streak was ended in the previous round when this team lost away to Shelbourne 1-0. At the same time, progress in the table has stopped, so Waterford is now in 6th place with 22 points. In terms of quality, Waterford could finish in the middle of the table at the end of the Irish Premier Division but there are still a lot of question marks and if some teams are worse than otherwise they could move towards the top.

Drogheda is one of the teams from the lower part of the table and they are currently in 9th place in the table. It is the penultimate position, which means Play Out and matches for survival against a club from a lower rank. Of course, there is plenty of time for that to change, both for the better and for the worse. Drogheda have 3 points more than last Dundalk and 3 points less than Sligo Rovers who are in the safe zone

Waterford vs Drogheda pick: WATERFORD TO WIN

In the past, Waterford had some problems with Drogheda, which has a better tradition in direct duels, but 4 years have passed since the last direct duel and now things are quite different. Drogheda is not such a strong team, moreover, it seems that they will fight for survival in the league, so Waterford could take advantage of that. The home team won at this stadium only 2 times in the previous 7 matches, so this is a great chance for them to achieve their 3rd triumph. What we conclude here is that the odds on Waterford are quite good, so the victory of the home team is quite a good betting option.
