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.
