Waterford FC and Cork City will lock horns for the second Munster derby of the season in the Airtricity League Premier Division this evening.
Both sides have had a slow start to the season, with the Blues just ahead of Cork on the league table.
Waterford picked up a point away to Sligo in dreadful conditions last Monday night, while City suffered a surprise 2-1 defeat away to UCD.
The Blues did get better of Cork in the second game of the season, winning 2-nil on Leeside after an excellent display.
Speaking to WLR Sport, Waterford midfielder JJ Lunney says home form is going to be vital going forward.
Blues striker Araon Drinan is looking forward to tonight's tussle against his native-side.
Aaron is hoping to continue his impressive goal scoring form this evening.
Kick-off @ the RSC is at 7:45pm, Matt Keane will have updates here on WLR across the evening.
