Dundalk FC vs Galway United FC Prediction: Both teams need the win

On Friday, Galway United will square off against Dundalk at Oriel Park. Dundalk continue to struggle as they are in the relegation playoff zone, second to Drogheda at the bottom of the table. Galway United on the other hand have not also been consistent in their performances this season. We expect a tough game here but our prediction will move towards the cards and corner options. Please see the carefully prepared tips.

Form in the league: DWLLW

Dundalk has continued to face challenges in the league this season as they are currently second-bottom in the league table and have secured only 5 wins from the 25 games played so far in the league. However, they managed to secure a 1-1 draw against Bohemians in their last league game with Daryl Horgan getting the equalizer for Dundalk in the 27th minute of the game. Can Dundalk secure another point on their home turf? Their overall league statistics are 5 victories, 8 draws, and 12 losses from 25 league games.

Galway United continues to fight for a favorable position in the standings this season exceeding our expectations. However, they have recently dipped in form as they lost woefully to Sligo Rovers last week with a 2-0 scoreline. Their overall league statistics are 9 victories, 7 draws, and 8 losses from 24 games played and Stephen Walsh has been the man in front of goal for Galway United this season with 5 goals. 

Their last 20 encounters have produced 11 victories for Dundalk, 7 victories for Galway United, and 2 draws. 

Both teams have already met twice this season and Galway United won both encounters with a 2-0 victory in both legs. We envisage a similar occurrence here, especially with the recent appalling form of Dundalk. Both teams have had less than 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 6 encounters and we believe Galway will not suffer a defeat here, a victory or a draw and a total of under 3.5 goals at 1.66 odds is a great betting choice. 

Furthermore, there have been less than 4.5 cards in 8 of their last 9 encounters and we can rely on the statistics for this betting choice. Lastly, both teams have also had less than 10.5 corners in 5 of their last 7 games across all competitions and we can expect a low corner count here.
