Strong travellers Waterford can raid Galway

Waterford are riding high in third spot in Ireland’s Premier Division ahead of a trip to fifth placed Galway on Friday.

The Blues’ strong away form has been one of the keys to their success this term as they have 17 points to show from 11 games, giving them the second best road record in the league behind leaders Shelbourne.

Waterford are in solid form overall with three wins in their last four games, and they may be able to leave Galway with maximum points on Friday.

The Tribesmen head into the game in poor form with just one win in their last five (D1, L3). Galway are unbeaten in six at Eamonn Deacy Park (W3, D3) but they’ve still only managed four wins in 11 attempts in front of their own fans and Waterford’s road record suggests they may just have enough about them to claim the spoils here.

Waterford have managed clean sheets in each of their last two games and Galway have only conceded one goal in their last six at this venue. Given how strong both sides are defensively, this could prove to be a low-scoring affair so a 1-0 win for the visitors is the correct score pick.
