Last Game: Drogheda 2-0 Waterford
Friday, July 26 at 7.45pm in League of Ireland Premier

We said: Waterford United 1-1 Shamrock Rovers

This match will mark Shamrock Rovers' fifth game in the space of 16 days and it will not get any easier for them with their Europa League qualifier against Celje on the horizon. Bradley may therefore be forced to rest a few of his first-team stars here, and we feel that the hosts will take advantage of that fact by securing a share of the spoils in this one. Read more.
