Waterford v St Patricks
Football : Ireland: Premier Division
Venue: Waterford Regional Sports Centre
Friday 20th March 2026, 1945hrs (GMT)

---

Waterford will be desperate to avoid a fifth league defeat on the trot in the Irish Premier Division on Friday night when they play host to high-flying St Patricks at their Waterford Regional Sports Centre having suffered recent losses at the hands of Derry City, Bohemians, Dundalk and Galway United respectively.

It’s now seven games without a win for Jon Daly’s side who find themselves sitting bottom of the Premier Division table and already six points adrift of safety ahead of this weekend’s action in the domestic top flight.

Waterford have managed to pick up just the two points in total so far from their opening seven league matches thanks to draws with Shelbourne and Sligo Rovers, both of which were earned on home soil at the Waterford Regional Sports Centre amidst an overall home record that stands at 0-2-1 1/2 in the early stages of this new season.

St Patricks by contrast currently occupy 2nd place in the Irish Premier Division where they trail the early league leaders Bohemian by a three-point margin ahead of Friday night’s fixture against the basement dwellers.

The visitors bring a five-match unbeaten sequence into this upcoming encounter with Waterford having collected four wins on the trot before being held to a 0-0 draw at home by Derry City last time out.

Recent wins against Dundalk, Galway United, Shelbourne and Drogheda United will still give Stephen Kenny’s side reason to feel upbeat about their chances on Friday night, but St Patricks have made an indifferent start to this season away from home with a record of 1-1-1 3/4.

The Betting Verdict

Waterford have lost just once in their last three meetings with St Patricks (D2, L1).
