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

Mon 23rd Jun, 19:45 BST, The Showgrounds, Newry

The Showgrounds is the setting on Monday evening, as John Russell's Sligo Rovers host John Caulfield's Galway United in the Premier Division. For each and every Premier Division preview, KickOff dives into the stats for all of the biggest markets. Key stats, including head-to-head results, are then brought forward alongside odds from the UK's biggest bookmakers.


Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We think there's minimal chance that this fixture will serve up 4+ goals, and the odds and stats align with KickOff's predictive algorithm on this one. Sligo and Galway have seldom served up thrillers of late, whether that be in the Premier Division individually or when going head-to-head. So, in the absence of a compelling favourite win or double chance market, we're suggesting under 3.5 goals. You can go for that at a best price of 1.25.
