Waterford FC will aim to get back on track this evening in the Airtricity League Premier Division.
The Blues are back in the capital as they face St. Patrick's Athletic hoping to bounce back from Monday's 3-nil defeat at home to league champions Dundalk.
St. Pat's will now take part in the Europa League Qualifying campaign, after UEFA adjudged Waterford FC to have broken the three year existence rule.
Waterford have picked up points on the road in their last two games, with scoreless draws against Sligo and Bohemians.
Blues striker Aaron Drinan told WLR Sport says the squad are keen to bounce back.
Aaron says they displayed good composure in last weekend's draw away to Bohs.
Aaron is appealing for the Waterford fans to make the trip to Dublin this evening.
