Waterford Preview – Can Waterford bounce back at home?
Sunday’s hosts, Waterford, were handed a 2-1 defeat last time out in the Irish Premier Division away at Sligo Rovers so they’ll be keen to make amends upon their return to the more familiar surroundings of their Waterford Regional Sports Centre when they take on basement dwellers, Finn Harps.
Waterford had previously produced some encouraging results having posted back-to-back wins against Derry City (2-1 at home) and Shelbourne (1-0 away) along with picking up points in draws with Cork City and Dundalk, and another three points on Sunday could see them draw level with the top three.
The bigger picture doesn’t look entirely impressive at home though for Waterford as they’ve picked up just three wins out of their last 13 matches on home turf but with just one defeat from their last five matches overall, Waterford look a decent chance to add to their points tally here.
Finn Harps Preview – Can Finn Harps avoid seventh defeat on trot?
The Irish Premier Division basement dwellers have managed to pick up just four points out of their first eight league matches of this new Irish top flight season, and they head into this important clash on Sunday looking to avoid a seventh straight defeat at Waterford.
Finn Harps had actually started the new Premier Division in promising form as the visitors earned a 1-0 home win against Sligo Rovers and then followed that up with a solid point on the road with a 1-1 draw at Derry City, but subsequent results have seen Finn Harps’ form take a dramatic nose-dive.
Six defeats on the trot later (five of which were to nil), and the visitors find themselves bottom of the pile and five points adrift of third from bottom outfit, Sligo Rovers and safety as they prepare for this tough trip to Waterford, with their only win on the road out of their last 25 matches on their travels being against Sunday’s hosts.
