The Leinster Football Championship begins for both Longford and Wicklow as they meet on the 6th of April at 15:30 GMT. A place in the quarter finals is at stake with Dublin the reward, if you could call it that, for whichever teams win this one. Let’s dive into our prediction complete with betting tips.

🏆 Longford v Wicklow Prediction

This is a game that both teams will fancy their chances in with a place in the Leinster Championship quarter final up for grabs. The draw has not been kind to either side as the winner will take on the side who have won the last 14 Leinster Championships, Dublin. Wicklow came close to promotion from Division 4 of the National League, finishing 3rd in the division, just one point behind a promotion place. Longford had a poor league campaign finishing 6th in Division 4, with just two wins in seven games. The sides met in the league with Wicklow running out winners on a scoreline of 2-15 to 0-12, a nine-point margin. The form suggests Wicklow will win, which is what we are predicting.

✔️ Longford v Wicklow Betting Tips

Let’s dive into our Longford v Wicklow betting tips for this intriguing encounter that you could possibly use if you have any free bet offers.

  • Tip 1: Wicklow to win: Based on form.

    Wicklow come into this game as the team in better form compared to that of Longford. Wicklow had a strong campaign in division 4 of the Allianz National League and will hope that they transfer this form into Championship football in this Leinster Championship encounter. They narrowly missed out on promotion which will leave a sour taste in their mouths, but they will surely take confidence from the campaign. Longford on the other hand will come into this game low on confidence following a below-par league campaign in the same division as Wicklow, Division 4. Longford finished 6th in the division registering just two wins, both of which came against the teams who finished below them, London and Waterford, with both being narrow victories. Wicklow should have the form and confidence to beat Longford for the second time in 2025.

  • Tip 2: Over 2.5 goals: Based on recent meetings.

    On paper, Longford vs Wicklow does not seem to be the most exciting game that could take place in the Championship, but recent meetings between the sides suggest otherwise. In the last 3 meetings between the sides there were nine goals scored, with Longford scoring five of those goals and Wicklow scoring four. When the sides met earlier in the year, Wicklow scored two goals and with Longford having home advantage this time around, expect them to score a goal to get the crowd going. They last met in the championship in the 2023 Tailteann Cup, with the sides sharing 5 goals on that occasion.

  • Tip 3: Padraig O’Toole to score a goal anytime: Based on quality.

    As mentioned, we think there will be goals in this championship encounter between Longford and Wicklow. One of the standout players for Wicklow in their league campaign was Padraig O’Toole. O’Toole has played as both a midfielder and centre forward in Wicklow’s 2025 season. He found the back of the next versus Carlow and Limerick showing the threat that he has. It could be worth a bet backing O’Toole to once again find the back of the net.

🎯 Longford Squad Form

Longford had a poor campaign in Division 4 of the Allianz National League. They finished 6th in the table, out of eight teams and picked up just two wins in their seven games. They had 1 draw and 4 defeats, including a defeat to their upcoming opponents Wicklow. They also finished with a score difference of -31 which will be worrying for them.

⚽Wicklow Squad Form

Wicklow suffered two defeats and had a solitary draw in their league campaign. They finished with a score difference of +16.
