St Patrick's Athletic v Galway United : Premier Division match betting preview, prediction and odds

Fri 19th Sep, 19:45 BST, Richmond Park, Dublin

Home advantage makes a difference in the Premier Division, and Stephen Bradley’s St Patrick's Athletic will have the joy of it on Friday evening. John Caulfield’s Galway United are their opponents at the Richmond Park. In this preview you'll find odds from leading bookmakers for the 17 biggest betting markets as well as predictions, statistics and head to head (H2H) data for these two clubs. All can be selected using the tabs below.


Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

Our calculations suggest that there's minimal chance that this match will deliver more than 3 goals at most, and the odds and stats align with our predictive algorithm on this one. St Patrick's and Galway haven't typically been involved in thrillers of late, whether that be in the Premier Division individually or in their head-to-head duals. So, without a compelling favourite draw or double chance market, we're recommending under 3.5 goals. You can go for that at a best price of 1.25.
