Waterford FC and UCD will lock horns in the capital this evening in the Airtricity League Premier Division.
The Students won promotion from First Division last season and they are taking their time to adjust to life in the top flight.
Waterford have won their last two league games with home wins against St. Pats and Finn Harps and are currently 5th on the league table.
One of the players who has been stealing the headlines recently is local born striker Dean Walsh and Alan Reynolds, the Blues manager says he is pressing hard for a starting place.
Speaking after Monday's EA Sports Cup win over Galway on Monday, Waterford midfielder Bastien Héry says it's another important game.
