Venue: Waterford Regional Sports Centre.
Waterford are going to face Limerick in the 18th round of Irish Premier Division.
Although they have been recently promoted, the hosts are having a great campaign so far. They are sitting on the 3rd place just four points behind the top placed Dundalk. Courtney Duffus and the lads haven’t suffered a defeat in the last five occasions, however they’ve tied two draws. Waterford have been fairly efficient this season while their defending is pretty decent. Although it is not expected that they can remain in the title race, home side can hope of finishing in the top three which can secure them a place in Europa League next season.
Limerick are having a bad start as they are in a relegating trouble. They are five points ahead of Bray Wanderers who are sitting on the bottom spot, but they’ll try to avoid finishing the season on the relegation playoff spot. The nearest safe place in two points ahead of them, but the visitors are in a bad streak of three straight defeats. Tommy Barrett’s side is awful in the front as they were able to find the net just eight times this season. They also need to improve their defending since they are one of the weakest side in the competition by that parameter.
