🏆 Waterford v Limerick Prediction

Waterford welcome Limerick to Walsh Park for another exciting Munster hurling championship encounter. Waterford will be full of confidence heading into this one after winning the Division 1B league title and also seeing off Clare last weekend in the Munster championship.

Limerick will need to get something going after a draw in their first game, with the pressure on to get a victory in this one if they are to make it to the All-Ireland knockouts or the Munster final. This game is a difficult one to call but we think Limerick’s experience in big games will see them over the line in this one and get them their much-needed win.

✔️ Waterford v Limerick Betting Tips

Now we will look at our Waterford vs Limerick betting tips that you could think about using for this Munster round robin clash, especially if you have some free bet offers to use.

  • Tip 1: Limerick to Win: Based on quality and experience.

    Limerick are the favourites in this one with the majority of bookmakers despite Waterford’s excellent win last Sunday. Limerick are looking to respond to their opening draw in this campaign and do have a point to prove this year after failing to achieve the 5 in a row last year, which would have made them the first hurling team in history This market is available with BoyleSports at odds of 1.44.

  • Tip 2: Over 2.5 Goals: Based on recent matches.

    Both these sides produced high scoring performances in their opening Munster hurling championship match, with both teams actually scoring the same number of goals and points, 2-23, with Limerick conceding 2-23 while Waterford conceded 0-21 to get the 8-point victory over Clare. We expect a high scoring encounter with plenty of goals in it so you may consider finding and over/under goals market and wagering a bet on over 2.5 goals.

  • Tip 3: Stephen Bennett to score a goal anytime: Based on quality and form.

    Stephen Bennett is arguably Waterford’s main man and is in excellent form, scoring 2-8 in their recent Munster championship encounter with All Ireland champions Clare. Goals will be vital in this game and if Waterford are to get something from this game they will need to find the back of the net, maybe more than once. They will look to their talisman to be the one to provide them with that goal.

📈 Waterford Squad Form

Waterford had an excellent league campaign, finishing top of Division 1B to secure promotion to the top division for next season. They were victorious in the league final versus Offaly and last weekend were victorious over the All-Ireland champions Clare in Waterford’s first Munster championship match of the year.

⚽ Limerick Squad Form

Limerick had a below par league campaign, just barely avoiding relegation to Division 1B. They finished 5th in Division 1B, winning 2 out of their 6 games, drawing once and losing 3 times. In their first Munster championship match of 2025 they played out an entertaining draw with Tipperary.
