Galway United

DLWLDL

Galway United will be looking to improve on their last outing here following a 0-1 Premier Division losing effort in their last game against Dundalk.

In that game, Galway United had 42% possession and 14 shots on goal with 2 on target. At the other end, Dundalk had 25 attempts on goal with 5 on target. Tyreke Wilson (90') scored for Dundalk.

It has been a rare occasion in recent times where Galway United haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Galway United have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 11 goals in the process. We will have to see whether or not that trend will be continued on into this next match.

Their past results show that Galway United:

• are unbeaten in the league by Derry City in their previous 2 games.
• have not won at home in their last 4 league matches. Fans are getting restless.
