Galway United, Recent FormThe Galway United squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 away defeat against Shelbourne, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. During that encounter they had 44% possession and had 16 attempts on goal with 1 on target, while their opponents hit 2 of their 8 shots on goal.
Manager John Caulfield will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games.
They have had an excellent run of form at Eamonn Deacy Park recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 home games.
Goalscorer Stephen Walsh will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Galway United.
Drogheda United, Recent FormDrogheda United will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their home outing against Bohemian FC. Their share of possession in that meeting was 45%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Bohemian FC had 9 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Having lost 16 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Kevin Doherty will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 6 goals they scored. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table.
Evan Weir has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Galway United.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Galway United who ended up empty-handed, losing 1-3 to Drogheda United.
Goals should be on the cards for The Drogs in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Galway Utd in their last 13 meetings together. In their past 5 meetings, Drogheda's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so The Tribesman will have to take their chances when they come. The Tribesman have struggled to keep Drogheda at bay when these two teams have met at Eamonn Deacy Park, during the last 3 times they have hosted Drogheda in the league, they have conceded a total of 7 goals.
Galway Utd will be determined to get something from this game having lost the last 5 times they've met Drogheda in the league and not won this fixture for 8 games in a row.
