Waterford vs Dundalk Prediction 11 September 2026
🔊 Ahead of the match between Waterford United and Dundalk, the contrast between the two sides' recent form and the visitors' overall scoring record stands out. Waterford United are unbeaten in their last five matches, winning three and drawing two, which points to a degree of consistency in the second half of the season. Dundalk have been less convincing in terms of results, but they remain high-scoring - their matches tend to feature plenty of goals, particularly away from home. Neither side has anything meaningful to play for in the table, sitting away from both the European places and the relegation zone, so both can afford to play with a degree of freedom.

Head-to-head statistics Waterford - Dundalk
Waterford United Team Overview
Waterford United are going through a strong run - they have gone five matches without defeat, winning four and drawing one. That sequence reflects confidence and solid defensive organisation: over their last ten matches, they have conceded an average of just 0.6 goals per game, which is one of the best figures at this stage of the season. They have also been scoring at an average of 1.8 goals per game over that same ten-match span, though their seasonal average is lower at 1.34.

Match Results: Waterford United
Dundalk Team Overview
Dundalk come into this match after an inconsistent run - three defeats and two wins from their last five games. Despite that, they remain one of the more prolific sides in the division, averaging 2.3 goals per game over their last ten matches, with a season average of 1.59. Their defence has also been vulnerable, conceding an average of 1.8 per game over the last ten and 1.55 across the season as a whole, which points to a tendency for open matches at both ends. The side have no particular ambitions in the table and sit comfortably in mid-table without any pressure on results, so they can afford to play freely and attack-mindedly.
Match Results: Dundalk
Prediction
Waterford look noticeably more consistent than their opponents right now. They are unbeaten in 11 matches in a row, and at home they have avoided defeat in 12 of their last 13 games. Dundalk's form is the opposite: in the Premier Division, they have failed to win in 7 of their last 8 matches. Even in head-to-head meetings, recent years have favoured the hosts - Waterford have gone unbeaten in 7 of the last 8. Prediction: Waterford not to lose - odds 1.44*.
Total Goals Prediction
Waterford's general form points more towards cautious football, but Dundalk's matches have seen a sharp rise in scoring recently. At least three goals have been scored in five consecutive Dundalk matches, and away from home that outcome has occurred in 6 of their last 7 fixtures. Dundalk's average match total in the league also exceeds three goals. Prediction: Total Goals - Over 2.5 at 1.52*.
Corners Prediction
The more interesting angle here is not the overall total but Dundalk specifically. This season the visitors average 6.24 corners per match, and 6.2 away from home. The trend holds in recent head-to-head meetings too: the away side has exceeded 4.5 corners in five consecutive matches. Prediction: Dundalk Team Total Corners - Over 4.5 at 1.61
Correct Score Prediction
The most logical outcome is 1-1. It is the most common scoreline in the tournament, and Waterford at home and Dundalk away have ended roughly one in every four matches with that result. The algorithm also places 1-1 first, with a probability of 11.28%.

⭐️ Editorial Prediction
On current form, the advantage has shifted noticeably towards the hosts. Waterford are unbeaten in 11 consecutive matches and have won seven of their last ten. Dundalk have won only three times over the same period and lost five, and in the league they have gone without a win in 7 of their last 8 matches. There is a case for going beyond a cautious unbeaten selection and backing an outright home win. Editorial prediction: Waterford to win.
