Couldnt see any value in a Cork win either so have doubled up with Hammarby away surely class will overcome endeavour ??

Cork have one home game all year in which they've beaten a team by 2+ goals (Longford, 2-0) and one game away (Derry 4-1) out of 15 games. Waterford, moreover, has been no pushover: they lose, but lose narrowly. Waterford have lost 3 of 8 away games by 2+ goals, two games early in the season and last week's game at Shamrock, which they held scoreless for 80 minutes. At home, they've lost one game by 2+ goals (1-3 to UCD) out of nine played. Throw in the fact that Cork have been busy with Intertoto play (in Sweden at midweek...four straight weeks of midweek games, in fact), and I think this may be a very tight game. Also, while Cork's h2h against Waterford shows two recent 2+ goal wins at home, this may be the classic letdown spot.

Cheers allthethings and BOL all,

Its just that Waterford have yet to win away this season and lost 75% on the road.
Could only find one time when Waterford beat Cork away since 98:

Head 2 head

Mar 9, 07 Waterford United 1 - 0 Cork City
Nov 3, 06 Cork City 4 - 1 Waterford United
Aug 5, 06 Waterford United 0 - 0 Cork City
May 5, 06 Cork City 2 - 0 Waterford United
Nov 4, 05 Waterford United 2 - 2 Cork City
Aug 5, 05 Cork City 1 - 1 Waterford United
May 13, 05 Waterford United 2 - 2 Cork City
Oct 15, 04 Waterford United 1 - 4 Cork City
Jul 30, 04 Cork City 2 - 0 Waterford United
May 28, 04 Waterford United 1 - 1 Cork City
Apr 6, 04 Cork City 2 - 3 Waterford United
Nov 11, 03 Waterford United 3 - 0 Cork City
Oct 3, 03 Cork City 2 - 2 Waterford United
Jul 18, 03 Waterford United 2 - 1 Cork City
May 9, 03 Cork City 1 - 1 Waterford United
Mar 24, 00 Waterford United 2 - 2 Cork City
Dec 19, 99 Cork City 0 - 0 Waterford United
Oct 1, 99 Waterford United 1 - 3 Cork City
Mar 28, 99 Cork City 0 - 0 Waterford United
Dec 27, 98 Waterford United 0 - 2 Cork City
Oct 5, 98 Cork City 5 - 0 Waterford United

Either way strong reason to believe there wont be a draw here as in the system proofing thread..

I agree that it certainly looks bleak for Waterford...but my only option is the one-goal handicap and with that I feel that I am betting for a push, as I think Waterford may well keep this within a goal. I'll root for you though...I'll be putting my money somewhere in the UEFA qualifiers.
