Derry City v Galway United : Premier Division match betting preview, prediction and odds

Fri 13th Jun, 19:45 BST, The Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium (Derry (Londonderry)), Londonderry

Home advantage can be vital in the Premier Division, and Huseyin Eroglu’s Derry City will have the blessing of it on Friday evening. John Caulfield’s Galway United are their visitors to The Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium (Derry (Londonderry)). Below you'll find predictions for 17 markets, supporting stats including head to heads (H2Hs), and the best odds. Access it all via the tabs below.


Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

Our calculations suggest that it's fairly unlikely that this game will deliver 4 goals or more, and the odds and stats point in the same direction as KickOff's predictive algorithm on this one. Derry and Galway haven't typically served up a high volume of goals of late, whether that be in the Premier Division individually or in their head-to-head duals. So, without a convincing favourite win or double chance market, we're suggesting under 3.5 goals. You can go for that at a best price of 1.20.
