If Waterford are to stand a chance at all of automatic promotion they will need to win this match and their game in hand to reduce the gap to ten points with nine league games to play.

Galway are outstanding with 22 wins from their 26 matches and just one defeat, the top-scorers in the division with 68 goals and have the best defence with only eleven goals conceded.
Victory here would put themselves nineteen points clear with nine matches to play; it only seems like a matter of time before the coronation comes.

Bray are in dreary form with three defeats and two draws in their last five matches and are currently seventh on the table and in danger of falling further following being well in playoff contention a few weeks ago.
Their off-the-field issues which they had last season but seemed to have washed their hands of this season have seemingly returned and they don’t look in good shape to finish the season.

The signing of Thomas Oluwa on loan from Waterford has made them a much more potent attacking outfit and I think will ultimately prove the difference maker for them for the playoff places come the end of the season.

Kerry looked on the brink of their first League of Ireland league home victory when they went 2-0 up against Cobh on Monday. However, it wasn’t to be in this one and they will have to wait until their FAI Cup clash against Drogheda in two weeks to finally have their home win.

Treaty are in poor form with three defeats, one win and one draw in their last five matches. Their most disappointing result came when they surrendered a potential 2-1 victory against Longford to have a 2-3 loss conceding two late goals.
Treaty are in danger of falling behind the chasing playoff pack and a win here will be a must.

Stephen Henderson deserves an awful lot of credit for the job he is doing along with the recruitment, most notably for me signing Beineon O'Brien-Whitmarsh on a Free Transfer. He has six goals and two assists in ten games since signing. Longford looks very likely to make playoffs based on their recent form.

Athlone have two wins, two draws and one defeat in their last five games. This means they currently occupy fourth on the table four points behind Cobh, but five points clear of Wexford in fifth.
That fourth spot looks like very much there’s to lose as we get closer to playoff season.
