Galway United form and stats

Three First Division home games done for Galway United, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches. Three draws in a row here at Eamonn Deacy Park for Galway, who might be willing to risk more at some point in hope of a win.

Happy days for Galway in their previous game, a First Division match away at Cobh Ramblers (placed 8th) that ended with a 4-0 victory. Preceding that game was the home draw versus UCD that ended 2-2.

As mentioned above, Galway "killed" Cobh Ramblers in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Galway are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. 3 goals have been conceded.

There were no winners in Wanderers's previous match, a First Division home game that ended 0-0 vs Cork City (placed 9th). A 1-1 draw at Cobh Ramblers's stadium before that.

Wanderers are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 4 away goals from 3 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Wanderers have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
