Scoring goals have also been an issue for Marc Bircham's side, with the Blues finding the back of the net just 10 times this season, which is a league low. However, problems have continued at the other end of the pitch, with Waterford conceding a league high 35 goals which is a huge concern for the relegation threatened side.

Last time out, the Blues fell to a 4-1 defeat by Shamrock Rovers, in which Waterford made a promising start through Eric Molloy's opener but four unanswered goals condemned them to another loss.

On the other hand, Waterford are enduring a miserable campaign of their own, sitting in ninth, just a point above their opponents with just nine points from 16 games. The visitors are yet to register a draw, after securing just three wins and a league high 13 defeats.

Friday's draw ended a miserable run of five consecutive defeats and they have picked up just three points in their last 10 games. Goals have been an issue for Doyle's side, having scored just 11 goals in 16 games and will look to top goal-scorer Dylan Grimes (three goals) to make a mark on today's must win contest.

Daire Doyle's Longford currently sit bottom of the table, with just eight points registered from 16 games. The home side haven't picked up a win this season since the opening day and last time out drew 1-1 away to Dundalk, with Aaron McNally's goal cancelled out by Chris Shields' equaliser.
