On Thursday, June 7th, the rescheduled 20th round match of the Irish Premier Division will take place, with Derry City facing Galway United. The referee will blow the starting whistle at 20:45 Central European Time. Analysts at Dailysports have prepared a prediction for this encounter.
Derry City
One of the frontrunners in the Irish Premier Division standings, Derry City has amassed 35 points from 21 games this season and sits in second place. The gap to the leader is not vast—just two points—but the leading team has an extra game in hand, which could extend the gap to five points. Derry City's lead over the third-placed team is four points. Hence, Derry City cannot afford to relax; they need to continue winning and accumulating points to maintain their second place and challenge for the championship.
It's worth noting that Derry City last won the Irish title in the 1996/97 season, meaning they haven't seen a title in over 26 years. Last season, Derry City finished second with 65 points. In their last five games, Derry City secured two wins, drew twice, and lost once.
Galway United
Rising from the Irish First Division, Galway United is currently performing admirably. In 18 matches in the Irish Premier Division, Galway has earned 27 points and has three games in hand. This puts them in a potential position to break into the top three if they maintain their form. They are four points behind the third place and eight points behind second.
However, Galway United has one of the lowest goal tallies in the league with only 14 goals scored. On the other hand, they boast the best defense, having conceded just 11 goals. This indicates that Galway prioritizes defense, and it has been working well for them. Recently, Galway United has shown strong form with three wins, one draw, and one loss.
Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history
- The last head-to-head match between Galway United and Derry City ended in a 0-0 draw. Before that, Galway United defeated Derry 2-1.
- Derry City has scored in their last seven home matches.
Derry City vs Galway United prediction
This match is expected to be challenging for both teams. Both Derry City and Galway United are positioned in the upper part of the table and are competing for higher places. Galway United is known for their strong defense and fewer goals scored, which suggests they will continue playing a defensive style. My bet is on the match total being under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.57.
