Waterford FC v Dundalk : Premier Division match betting preview, prediction and odds

Fri 11th Sep, 19:45 BST, Waterford Regional Sports Centre, Waterford

It's an away match for Ciarán Kilduff's Dundalk side on Friday evening, as they head to the Waterford Regional Sports Centre for a Premier Division meeting with Graham Coughlan's Waterford FC. We have custom-designed statistics for every major market, from from under 0.5 goals to over 5.5, including form and historical head to head (H2H) data. Predictions are calculated from these, and the odds come straight from the UK's biggest bookmakers.


Best Tip: Both teams to score

Both Dundalk and Waterford supporters should have some reason to cheer as their clubs go head-to-head, with KickOff's prediction of both teams to score looking a far more convincing pick than any bet on the full time result market. The two sides have goals in them, as is borne out by the stats and past head-to-head data below. Even the bookies odds are not finding real separation between the sides, a sign of the qualities (or lack of) each side possesses. Both teams to score is the way to go here.
