Waterford, Recent FormWaterford will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 1-0 winners in their away fixture against Bohemian FC. Their share of possession in that meeting was 39%, while racking up 6 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Bohemian FC, who had 14 shots on goal with 4 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 5 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 7 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
Having lost 3 of their last 6 matches and recorded only 2 victories, this has to be seen as a poor run of results.
Goalscorer Pádraig Amond will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Waterford.
Galway United, Recent FormThe Galway United players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Bohemian FC recently, that ended in a 2-0 defeat. In that game they recorded 50 % of the possession, with 17 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 19 shots on goal.
Having conceded 5 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 7 points. In their last 6 away games, they have scored in 5 and kept a clean sheet in 3.
They have had an excellent run of form away from home recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 games on the road.
With 5 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Stephen Walsh has given the travelling Galway United support something to shout about on the road.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 2-1 win for Galway United.
The Tribesman will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Waterford, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 9 meetings between the two.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Galway Utd has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Waterford in 5 games.
