Over their past 6 clashes, the sum of 23 goals have been scored for both sides combined (at an average of 3.83 goals per game) with 11 of them being chalked up by Galway United.

Team News: Galway United
We are thinking that Tribesman look set to use the 4-2-3-1 formation for this one and select Evan Watts, Matty Wolfe, Ed McCarthy, Killian Brouder, G. Facchineri, Jimmy Keohane, David Hurley, Aaron Bolger, Lee Devitt, Kris Twardek and Stephen Walsh.
📰
Team News: Dundalk
We are inclined to think that The Lilywhites will likely make use of a 5-4-1 lineup, choosing Enda Minogue, Declan McDaid, Rob Cornwall, John Ross Wilson, Bobby Burns, Tyreke Wilson, Eoin Kenny, Aodh Dervin, Shane Tracey, Daryl Horgan and Gbemi Arubi.
🔮
Prediction
We feel that Galway United will need to apply a lot of pressure to score against this Dundalk team who we think will likely get a goal themselves and run out victorious.
We’re therefore anticipating a 0-1 winning score for Dundalk when the full-time whistle blows.
We’ll see what happens.
