Drogheda vs Galway prediction 04.07.2025 | Premier Division

• Competition: Premier Division
• Date: Friday, 4th July, 2025
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CEST
• Venue: Weavers Park (Drogheda)

Last year, Drogheda had a terrible performance in the Premier Division, barely securing survival. Eventually, they stayed after eliminating Bray in the relegation playout. However, on the positive side, they did great in the domestic Cup, winning the title - their first since winning the League Cup back in 2012. This year, "The Drogs" are doing a much better job in the league and are sitting in 4th place with 35 points from 24 matches - two points away from the second and third place and the European Qualifiers. However, they have played two games more and are also in bad form. So, that is undoubtedly something they have to be worried about.

Galway have been a team that moved between the first and second tier in the previous two decades. Whenever they competed in the Premier Division, they were among the worst teams. However, last year, they did great, finishing fifth. "The Tribesmen" continued with solid performances this year, considering they are not in danger of getting relegated. Right now, they sit in 7th place with 29 points - ten points away from the relegation playout.

Drogheda vs Galway pick: Under 2.5 goals

Drogheda are in bad form, having won just one match in the last six games. During that six-game period, they scored only five goals - 0.83 per game. That is well below their season's average of 1.23 gpg. Their offense really struggled for some time now, considering they scored one or zero goals in the last five and nine of the previous ten.

Galway, on the other hand, are in good form, having lost once in the last six games. Still, all of their good games happened at home. Away from it, they haven't won a game in the last six games while scoring only four goals - 0.67 per game. So, we do not expect a great offensive display.

In the previous three h2h games, we saw fewer than three goals on two occasions. Considering all the above, an under 2.5 goal bet seems like the best option for this Premier Division tie.
