🗞️ Team News: Galway United
There’s just the lone fitness concern for the Galway United manager John Caulfield to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed group of players. Ed McCarthy (unknown injury) misses out.
In our view, Tribesman look set to employ a 3-5-2 system for this one with Brendan Clarke, Greg Cunningham, Rob Slevin, Killian Brouder, Jeannot Esua, Patrick Hickey, Vincent Borden, Cian Byrne, Bobby Burns, Jimmy Keohane and Moses Dyer.
ℹ️ Team News: Drogheda United
In an otherwise available squad, there’s just the sole fitness issue for the Drogheda United gaffer Kevin Doherty to be concerned with. Josh Thomas (unknown injury) misses out for this game.
It’s our belief that The Drogs appear most likely to utilise a 3-4-1-2 system, starting Luke Dennison, Andrew Quinn, Conor Keeley, James Bolger, Owen Lambe, Shane Farrell, Ryan Brennan, Conor Kane, Darragh Markey, Thomas Oluwa and Warren Davis.
🔮 Prediction
Our feeling is that Galway United have it within them to score more than once against Drogheda United, who may well find it hard finding the net themselves.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a comfortable 2-0 winning score for Galway United by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
