  • Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CEST
  • Venue: Eamonn Deacy Park (Galway)

Galway could have problems with avoiding relegation. Only a few weeks ago, the team from Eamonn Deacy Park was 13 points ahead of Sligo Rovers, the team that is in the relegation playoff position. However, in the last four league rounds, Galway picked up only one point and now the difference is only six points. Galway broke the negative run in the previous match when they won 2-0 at home in the cup against Tolka. Although fans deserved even more goals in that match, the positive outcome could help Galway restore some confidence. 

Waterford are one point ahead of Galway, so they are potentially in danger, too. John Coleman's team has had problems with form lately, but after two wins in the last two matches, it seems that Waterford is on the right track again. In the previous game, Coleman's team won 5-1 at home in the cup against St. Mochta's. 

Galway vs Waterford pick: BTTS - Yes

Both teams have had some problems lately. However, Galway are scoring goals regularly at the home stadium, while Waterford scored nine goals in the last three matches. We should expect goals on both sides in the upcoming clash in Galway.
