Waterford vs Galway United — Tips & Analysis

Galway United +0.5: These two keep cancelling each other out, and that is the heart of the pick. Three of the last five meetings finished level, including a 0-0 in July and a 1-1 in April. Across the last 20 meetings Galway hold the better record as well, with 10 wins to Waterford's 4 and 6 ties. Waterford are solid at the Regional Sports Centre, where they have lost once in their last twelve and let in just one goal a game. They score almost 2 goals a game overall and have won 10 of their last 20. Galway are built to cope with that. They have won 7 and lost only 6 of their last 20 games. They travel well too, with 4 wins, 2 ties and 3 losses in nine away games. Both sides tie a lot, and each of them has 7 ties in their last 20. The last 20 meetings have averaged more than 2 goals, so neither side tends to run away with this one. We see a 1-1, which is exactly what we want: Galway leaving with at least a point. The caution is Waterford's home form, and they come in on 21 days of rest to Galway's 14. Waterford have also been making more chances than they give up over their last three games. We still want Galway, who look like a side that gets something out of this.
