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

Fri 17th Apr, 19:45 BST, Oriel Park, Dundalk

Home advantage makes a difference in the Premier Division, and ’s Dundalk will have the blessing of it on Friday evening. John Caulfield’s Galway United are their visitors to the Oriel Park. We have predictions, tips, and odds from the UK's biggest bookmakers and head-to-head stats across every market, all with the aim of helping you find a winning bet on this Premier Division clash.

Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

Our calculations suggest that it's fairly unlikely that this fixture will have more than 3 goals at most, and the odds and stats are in line with KickOff's predictive algorithm on this one. Dundalk and Galway have rarely treated their fans to thrillers of late, whether that be in the Premier Division individually or in head-to-head clashes. So, in the absence of a compelling favourite WDW or double chance market, we're going for under 3.5 goals. The UK's top bookies have that available at a best price of 1.30.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Dundalk are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 59% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 1.90.
