Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Maybe it'd be too strong to say that we expect Keith Long and Ruaidhri Higgins to got all-out defensive here, but we do not expect a deluge of goals as Waterford and Derry go head-to-head. The stats belowimply under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we're saying that looks like a strong prediction. With best odds of 1.73 available on under 2.5 goals and no obvious match winner in sight, that's the bet we recommend.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Waterford are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 36% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.80.
