Best Tip: Galway to win

As the Galway players ready themselves for this game, the bookies are predicting a win for them. The odds and our pre-match stats below also point that way, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) information we factor into our predictive algorithms. The Eamonn Deacy Park hasn't been an easy place to go for Dundalk in the past, and we expect more of the same come Friday evening. A win / draw / win home win is the bet.

Goal Statistics

Galway United's fans will be hoping for goals on Friday evening, not least because Dundalk have conceded in each of their last 11 Premier Division matches. A PG of 1.7 for J. Caulfield's side suggests that run should continue.

A truly dreadful PG of just 0.7 should cause concerns for Dundalk fans, as should a 8 Premier Division games run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
