Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We can expect some goalmouth action in this one, but don't count on an all-time classic. Under 3.5 goals is our prediction, meaning there will be no more than 3 goals scored during 90 mins. The best odds on that outcome are just below, followed by market-specific form stats and head-to-head (H2H) records.

Goal Statistics

Waterford FC's fans will be hoping for goals on Friday evening, not least because Dundalk have conceded in each of their last 8 Premier Division outings. A PG of 1.6 for Keith Long's side suggests that run should continue.

Goals have been a problem for Dundalk of late. It has been 5 Premier Division matches since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.0 suggests they'll have problems ending that run on Friday evening against Waterford FC.
