Galway United
LDWLLL 📉
Galway United will be wanting a better result here after a 1-0 Premier Division defeat last time out to Waterford.
In that match, Galway United managed 42% possession and 11 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. Waterford got 15 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. Darragh Leahy (27') scored for Waterford.
It has been a rare occasion in recent games that Galway United have kept a clean sheet. In fact, Galway United have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 games, giving up 11 goals during that time.
Pre-game facts show that Galway United:
- have not beaten Sligo Rovers in home games against them for the last 2 league matches.
- haven't been beaten by Sligo Rovers in games played at home for the previous 4 league games.
- are unbeaten in the league by Sligo Rovers in their previous 2 games.
Sligo Rovers
WLDDLL
Following on from being beaten in their last game against Bohemian FC in Premier Division competition, Sligo Rovers and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.
In that game, Sligo Rovers managed 43% possession and 9 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. Bohemian FC got 20 attempts on goal with 8 of them on target. Lys Mousset (88') was the scorer for Bohemian FC.
The stats don’t lie, and Sligo Rovers have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 9 goals in all. At the back, Sligo Rovers can certainly do much better. Putting that to one side, it remains to be seen whether the trend will be maintained in this next match.
↔️ Head to head
A look at their most recent head to head clashes stretching back to 02/04/2018 tells us that Galway United have won 1 of these games & Sligo Rovers 2, with the tally of drawn matches standing at 3.
In all, 10 goals were shared by the two clubs throughout the course of those matches, with 4 of them for Tribesman and 6 coming from The Bit o' Red. That’s an average goals per game figure of 1.67.
The previous league meeting between the two was Premier Division match day 9 on 12/04/2025 when it ended Sligo Rovers 1-2 Galway United.
The match was refereed by Paul McLaughlin.
🗞️ Team News: Galway United
In all likelihood, Tribesman should line up in a 4-3-1-2 formation this time and select Brendan Clarke, Jeannot Esua, Rob Slevin, Killian Brouder, Regan Donelon, Cian Byrne, David Hurley, Patrick Hickey, Conor McCormack, Cillian Tollett and Moses Dyer.
📰 Team News: Sligo Rovers
Sligo Rovers manager John Russell has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Oskar van Hattum (unknown injury) and Ollie Denham (unknown injury) can’t be considered.
We are inclined to think that The Bit o' Red could decide to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system, settling for Sam Sargeant, Conor Reynolds, John Mahon, Gareth McElroy, Reece Hutchinson, Jake Doyle-Hayes, Cian Kavanagh, Ronan Manning, Francely Lomboto, William Fitzgerald and Owen Elding.
🧠 Prediction
In this game, Galway United are likely to convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.
In contrast, Sligo Rovers will not find it easy getting on the scoresheet - but, we do see them being dangerous at times, too.
We’re predicting a 3-1 victory for Galway United at the conclusion of the game.
