Waterford United hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 11 points and a 8th position in the Premier Division table. Visiting St Patrick's holds 6th place with 11 pts.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
