Galway United vs Bohemians — Tips & Analysis

Galway United +0.75: Galway tie games. They have won 6, tied 9 and lost 5 of their last 20. Five of their eleven home games have ended level, and three of their last five finished square. That habit is exactly what this pick needs. Galway score more than a goal a game and let in about the same, which tells you how these nights at Eamonn Deacy Park tend to go. They are also hard to beat at home, losing by 2 or more only 4 times in their last 20. Bohemians are a different team on the road. Away from Dalymount they are 3W-3D-4L and their goals for and against even out, a long way from what they do at home. They will have more of the ball with a European place to chase, but they have not been turning that into away wins. The history fits too. These two met in August and finished 1-1, and the last 13 meetings have averaged just over 2 goals in total. A 1-1 is the likeliest end here, a tight night where one goal each is about right. The warning is that Bohemians are playing well. They won their last two home league games 3-0 and 5-3, and they have won 7 of the last 13 against Galway. If they bring that form west, Galway could be second best. We still think the hosts hold them.
