Match Preview

Derry City are a traditional force in the Irish Premier Division, but their recent form is quite bizarre. Having aspired to fight for the title, Derry City won just twice in the last 12 matches, while drawing no less than seven out of the last nine fixtures. This is a remarkable run that we must take into account in our Derry City vs Galway United predictions.

Galway United are yet to win away, and they are in the relegation zone, but this is a rather difficult team to beat. Galway United are the draw specialists in the Irish Premier Division – exactly half of their 16 matches have been drawn. In fact, the previous game between the rivals took place less than a month ago, and not surprisingly it produced a goalless draw. This is significant for our Derry City vs Galway United betting tips.
