Galway United, Recent FormA point gained from their 1-1 draw against Shamrock Rovers in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Galway United. Their share of possession in that meeting was 24%, while racking up 3 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Shamrock Rovers, who had 23 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Manager John Caulfield will be pleased with his team's recent defensive record, having conceded just 3 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have concerns that his team are not scoring many goals, and therefore dropping points. Of their last 6 games played at home, they've have been unable to score in 4 games and only kept 2 clean sheets.
Galway Utd will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
Derry City, Recent FormHaving secured a 2-0 away win against Waterford in their latest league match, Derry City will have a positive feeling ahead of this match. They came away from that fixture with a 55% share of the possession and clocked up 15 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Waterford, who managed 13 attempts on goal, 1 of which were on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 7 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 games on the road.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 away games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.
On an individual basis, Patrick Hoban has scored in each of Derry City's last league game.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Derry City who ended up empty-handed, losing 0-1 to Galway United.
In their previous 3 encounters with Galway Utd, The Candystripes have shipped at least one goal in those matches. Playing away from home, Derry City have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against Galway Utd.
Galway Utd has won the last 2 games they've played against Derry City in the league.
With only Garry Buckley (Muscle) and Colm Horgan (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, John Caulfield will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Ruaidhrí Higgins has a number of injury concerns in his Derry City squad to contend with: Sadou Diallo (Ankle), Cameron Dummigan (Lack of fitness), Patrick McEleney (Unknown) and Colm Whelan (Knee)
