Dundalk vs Galway United — Tips & Analysis

Over 2.75: Both these teams keep turning up in open games, whatever the table says. 13 of Dundalk's last 20 games have had three or more goals, and 12 of Galway's last 20 have too. Dundalk have not won a league game in five and they have been outplayed in most of them, but they still score at Oriel Park. Galway cut both ways here. They have tied four in a row and eight of their last 20, so they rarely get beaten badly, and a tight game is their comfort zone. They also let in more than a goal a game on the road, and they carry more than a goal a game of their own away from home. Our read is a 1-1, so we will be straight about it. This needs a third goal to land, and a fourth would make it comfortable. The history is quieter than the recent games. The eight meetings between them have averaged more than 2 goals, and Dundalk's last two wins in this series were 1-0 and 2-1. Galway are hard work for anyone chasing a result. Dundalk have to push after five league games without a win, though, and Galway keep letting goals in on their travels. We want the busier game.
