Galway United FC vs Derry City FC Prediction: Derry City will not lose

The upcoming match at Eamon Deacy Park between Galway United and Derry City promises to be a tough game. Derry City will be aiming for their third consecutive league victory in this game while Galway United will give their all for a positive outcome here. Our prediction is for a win or draw for Derry City. Please see the carefully prepared tips for you. 

Galway United FC (5th)

Form: DDWDL

Newly promoted Galway United continues to show strong performances in the league this season, exceeding our expectations. They have only suffered a loss in their last five league games with a win, 3 draws, and a loss from their last five league games. They held Shamrock Rovers to a 1-1 draw in their most recent league game. Dylan Watts lost a penalty in that game for Shamrock Rovers. They’ll be hoping for more of the same piece as they take on Derry City on Friday. Their overall league statistics are 5 victories, 5 draws, and two losses from 11 games played. 

Derry City FC (3rd)

Form: WWLDW

Derry City have now secured two consecutive league victories in their most recent league games and they’ll be aiming for a third as they prepare to take on newly promoted Galway United on Friday. Derry City is closely trailing behind the league leaders Shelbourne with a three-point gap between them. Their most recent league game against Waterford ended in a 0-2 victory for Derry and we might be seeing them snatch another victory at the Eamon Deacy Park on Friday. 

Their overall league statistics are impressive with 6 victories, 4 losses, and 3 draws from a total of 13 games played. Derry must secure a win here if they intend to reduce the point margin between them and the top.

Expert Betting Tips

Galway United has shown great strength since the start of the season, but their strength might not be enough to overpower Derry City who is in contention for a top 3 spot in the League. The last time they met, Galway United secured a narrow victory with the lone goal coming in the 85th minute of the game. Derry will aim for retribution here and with their current form we believe they will get it. Our first prediction is a win or draw and a total of over 1.5 goals for Derry City. Derry City should get a minimum of two goals here and we can bank on that. The corner bet is also a great option as Derry City is quite big on corners.
