Galway United

DLWLDL

Galway United won’t want a repeat of their last result here following a 0-1 Premier Division defeat in their last game at the hands of Dundalk.

In that game, Galway United had 42% possession and 14 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. Dundalk got 25 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. Tyreke Wilson (90') was the scorer 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.
