Galway United vs Waterford United Predictions

• Galway have four defeats in 11 home games
• The Blues have won back-to-back away games

Waterford showing some survival fight

Waterford seemed destined for the drop not too long ago but have hit some form and they can boost their survival hopes by winning as underdogs at Galway.

The Blues failed to win any of their opening 16 games but have four wins in eight since, including back-to-back road wins.

Galway have been in mixed form and they made hard work of beating bottom club Sligo in their last game. United have lost three of their last five league games and could come unstuck against a Waterford side who have built up some momentum.

This has the potential to be a high-scoring game as three of Galway’s last four games have gone over 3.5 goals across all competitions, and they have also conceded exactly three goals in each of their last two defeats. Waterford have conceded two goals in their last two league wins so a bold play on a 3-2 win for the away side is the correct score pick.

Waterford’s Tom Lonergan has 12 goals in 22 games this season and five of those strikes have come across his last three away appearances. Lonergan will be on spot kick duties for the visitors and he looks the standout pick for an anytime effort.
