Match Preview: St Patricks Athletic V Waterford

Written By Conor Barry

Its Gameweek 3 in the League Of Ireland as Waterford Host St Pats in the RSC. Waterford come into this off the back of a 2-1 defeat to Galway United and St Pats coming in to the fixture suffering a last minute defeat to Derry City. Over 3000 people are expected to flock into the RSC with this being speculated as the biggest attendance for a Monday night fixture in the RSC in a number of years. St Pats are expected to reel in a decent support, although returning a number of unsold tickets.

Let’s jump into the squads.

Waterford fielded a strong squad against Galway on Friday, with only one change from The 4-1 victory over Drogheda, as MacAdam replaced Fleetwood loanee Asamoah. New signing Connor Evans remains a doubt after sustaining a knock during a training session.

St Pats squad looks to be a strong side, putting up a valiant effort against Derry, just falling short of a draw. Ones to watch include former Cork City striker Ruairi Keating, Anto Breslin on the left side of midfield, and Joe Redmond at centre back.

My Prediction.

St Pats are a strong side with manpower in all areas, but personally I think The Blues could just slip through a find 3 points at home sneaking a 1-0 victory. This is going to be a massive game for both sides, but who do you think will come out on top?
