Waterford Team News
As things stand now, Waterford will fight for the first division through the play-offs. At the moment they are 11 points behind Cork City, which is very difficult to achieve.
Although they are the second most efficient team in the league, it seems that they will not be able to achieve the desired goal this season as well. The reason for that is unconvincing games at home.
They play much better on away courts, which is best shown by the fact that they scored 26 out of a total of 41 goals away from home. At home, they reached 19 points in 9 matches, but managed to score more than one goal in a very small number of games.
They missed the last chance to win first place in the last round, when they were defeated by Galway 1:0 in the big derby at home.
Given that they have to defend third place in the table due to home-ground advantage in the play-offs, we expect them to play the duel against Wexford with a much more serious approach.
Wexford Team News
Wexford is currently on the brink of a place in the playoffs. They occupy fifth place in the table with 27 points, the same number as Treaty United.
The visiting team is in a good position mainly due to very solid away results. In 10 matches played, they reached 13 points, which may not be a lot, but they showed that they are a team that plays without any calculations.
Away from home, they play very openly and efficiently, which is best shown by the fact that five of their last six away matches ended with at least three goals scored.
In the last five matches, they won 11 points, with 11 goals scored and 5 goals conceded, which shows that they are in really good shape.
Good results recently have certainly given them an extra dose of self-confidence, and we are confident that despite the epithet of outsiders, they will not run onto the field with the white flag in their hands.

Waterford vs. Wexford Prediction
Defeat in the last round spoiled the plans for the home team, and that setback has shaken the Waterford team. Wexford, is in a big fight for a place in the play-offs currently. Bearing in mind that they are in great form at the moment, we will not be surprised if they manage to achieve another feat.
We will avoid predicting the winner though, because betting on goals seems much more likely to us. Both teams have excellent goal-scoring potential, their mutual matches are traditionally very effective, so we believe that this time they will shake each other at least a few times.
