Waterford make the journey to Tallaght Stadium for their final SSE Airtricity Men's Premier Division game of the 2024 season to take on title-chasing Shamrock Rovers FC tonight.
The Blues will be looking to play an important role in the destination of this years SSE Airtricity Men's Premier Division title race, as they face second-place Shamrock Rovers FC on the final day of the Premier Division season.
A result for the Blues against the reigning champions will see the title head to Tolka Park for Shelbourne, with a win required for Stephen Bradley's side plus results elsewhere to go in favour of the Hoops if Shamrock Rovers are to get their hands of the trophy for a fifth consecutive season.
Keith Long's side head into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw at home to Bohemian FC last Friday night - a game that saw a 92nd minute equaliser from Sam Glenfield.
Regardless of the result on Friday, the Blues will finish the 2024 season in seventh position in their first year back in the top flight of Irish football - currently sitting on 45 points from 35 games.
Over 9,000 spectators are expected to watch from the stands in Tallaght on Friday night, as Stephen Bradley's side go in search of making history against the Blues.
The Hoops will be wary of Waterford's last visit to Tallaght - a 3-1 win at the beginning of May with Dean McMenamy & Connor Parsons getting on the scoresheet for the Blues along with an early own-goal.
Shamrock Rovers sit two points behind leaders Shelbourne FC going into Friday night's game, with Shelbourne travelling to Derry City looking to bring the title back to Tolka Park for the first time in 18 years.
