Galway United, Recent FormA 0-0 draw and a point gained against Waterford in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent result for Galway United last time out. In that game they had 35% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Waterford who had 6 attempts and 3 on target.
Having conceded 4 goals and scored just 1 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 5 points. They have failed to score in 5 of their last 6 games, and they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at home.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Goalscorer Wassim Aouachria will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Galway United.
Shelbourne, Recent FormThe Shelbourne 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 2-1 defeat. They achieved 59% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Bohemian FC's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Damien Duff will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 9 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 6 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 9 of their 10 games this season and recorded 4 clean sheets.
Their unbeaten run away from home now sits at 7 games in a row.
Away from home in the league, Will Jarvis has given the Shelbourne travelling fans plenty to get excited about, with 4 goals from their last 6 games on the road.
There was no upset on the cards last time these two sides met; on that occasion, Shelbourne produced a comfortable 1-0 victory.
In each of the previous 3 matches against The Shels, Galway Utd have let in at least one goal. Shelbourne have managed to keep a clean sheet against Galway Utd in 4 of their previous 5 meetings.
