📋 Team News: Drogheda United

There’s just the lone fitness concern for the Drogheda United boss Kevin Doherty to contend with from of an almost fully healthy group of players. George Cooper (unknown injury) is out of contention.

In all likelihood, The Drogs should use a 4-3-3 formation for this one, beginning the first half with Luke Dennison, Conor Kane, Andrew Quinn, Aaron Harper-Bailey, Conor Keeley, Owen Lambe, Shane Farrell, Ryan Brennan, Douglas James-Taylor, Warren Davis and Thomas Oluwa.

📰 Team News: Galway United

We are inclined to think that Tribesman appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 formation, choosing Evan Watts, Jeannot Esua, Garry Buckley, Rob Slevin, Greg Cunningham, Killian Brouder, Cian Byrne, David Hurley, Patrick Hickey, Ed McCarthy and Stephen Walsh.

💡 Prediction

We envisage that Galway United and Drogheda United should both be able to find the back of the net here although it’s difficult to select a clear winner.

Will be interesting to see how this one goes, with a good chance of a draw. That’s why we have predicted a tight encounter, finishing with a 1-1 score draw at the end of the match.
