Drogheda United, Recent FormDrogheda United will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Shelbourne with a 1-1 draw and a valuable point. They came away from that fixture with 24% of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 5 on target. By comparison, Shelbourne managed 20 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 6, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 9 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
They have been performing well at Weavers Park recently and are unbeaten in their last 6 home games.
Galway United, Recent FormGalway United manager John Caulfield will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Sligo Rovers. They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 21 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Sligo Rovers' tally of 7 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
Caulfield will be pleased with his team's recent defensive record, having conceded just 1 goal in their last 6 games, but he will have concerns that his team are not scoring many goals, and therefore dropping points. They're currenlty on a run of 3 consecutive clean sheets, but this season they have failed to score in 9 of their 15 games played.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 7 games.
Stephen Walsh will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Drogheda United in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Galway United.
Galway United will have been disappointed not to take all 3 points in their last league match against Drogheda United with the game ending in a 0-0 draw.
Drogheda have managed to keep a clean sheet against The Tribesman in each of their previous 2 meetings at Weavers Park. Drogheda have scored in each of their last 6 games at home in the league against The Tribesman. Galway Utd have struggled to break down The Drogs defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
In the league, Drogheda has a good track record when they host Galway Utd, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
