Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We don't think there's a clear favourite to claim victory here, but does appear clear is that the odds suggest it'll have a maximum of 3 goals. Our statistical analysis is inline with them too. Waterford and Cork have delivered a lot of under 3.5 goal games recently, and key performance statistics point towards more of the same. We have confidence in predicting under 3.5 goals on Monday evening, and the bookies have it priced at 1.25.
