Galway United
The team from Galway enters this fixture in less than ideal form: over their last ten matches, they've managed just two wins, with three draws and five defeats.
Recently, the side has struggled with cohesion up front and composure at the back, which has impacted their results. The efforts of Moses Dyer—the league's top scorer—are often undone by collective mistakes and an inability to progress the ball into the final third.
St Patrick's
On the other hand, St Patrick's are facing similar issues with consistency: ten games, three wins, five defeats, and two draws. Despite these challenges, Stephen's side remains in the hunt for European qualification, trailing Drogheda by just one point after 21 games.
Goal conversion has been a problem: just three goals scored in their last five matches, and their top striker, Eoin Keena, has found the net only once in his last ten appearances.
Probable line-ups
Galway United: Watts, Esua, Slevin, Buckley, Cunningham, McCarthy, Hickey, Byrne, Hurley, Borden, Dyer
St Patrick's: Anang, McLoughlin, Grivosti, Redmond, Breslin, Mulraney, Lennon, Leavy, McClelland, Power, Keena

Galway United vs St Patrick's match prediction
