MATCH PREVIEW: Waterford FC v Galway United
PREVIEW
Waterford FC take on title rivals Galway United at the RSC on Friday - Kick-off is at 7.45pm.
The Blues, who defeated Treaty United 2-1 at the Market's Field last Friday, can cut the gap between them and the Tribesmen this week when they welcome John Caulfield's outfit who are in second place on the First Division table.
Waterford go into the encounter nine points adrift of United but Danny Searle's side have one game in hand on both table-toppers Cork City and the Tribesmen - who drew 2-2 with Wexford FC in their most recent fixture.
Ahead of tonight's game, Searle told Waterford's club website: “We know we can compete and beat any team on our day and that’s the consistency that we’re looking to get from the squad until the end of the season. We have quality in the squad and some outstanding young players who can’t wait to get back on the pitch.
“Galway will prove another very tough task. There hasn’t been much between the sides this season with three very close matches so we need to perform to pick up points.
