Shelbourne vs Waterford Prediction (22.05.2026)

Waterford continues to occupy the last place in the Irish championship, and so far the season for the team has been more than difficult. In 17 matches played, the team has only one victory, but at least the positive thing is that it came in the last round. This could give some confidence to the team before the next challenge.

The problem for Waterford remains their performance away from home, where in their last eight league visits the team has one draw and seven losses, some of which were quite heavy. Shelbourne, on the other hand, is experiencing ups and downs, but at least they have not lost in their last four consecutive league matches. Interestingly, the hosts are facing serious difficulties on their own ground and in their eight home games so far, they have not achieved a single victory. At the same time, both teams often participate in high-scoring matches. In seven of Shelbourne's last nine matches and in five of Waterford's last six, there have been goals at both ends.

I expect a match in which both teams will find the back of the net. Shelbourne struggles to close out their home matches, and Waterford seems to have shown signs of revival after their last victory. That is why my prediction is for goals at both ends.
