📰 Team News: Drogheda United

There is just the lone fitness concern for the Drogheda United gaffer Kevin Doherty to contend with from of an almost fully healthy squad. Owen Lambe (Cruciate ligament injury) is out of contention.

It seems likely that The Drogs could use a 5-3-2 system this time with Luke Dennison, Edwin Agbaje, James Bolger, Conor Keeley, Andrew Quinn, Conor Kane, Ethan O'Brien, Jago Godden, Brandon Kavanagh, Warren Davis and Mark Doyle.

🗞️ Team News: Galway United

Thanks to a mainly full-strength group, there is just the sole fitness worry for the Galway United boss John Caulfield to be concerned about. Dara McGuinness (unknown injury) misses out for this game.

We’re of the thinking that Tribesman seem most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation, going with Evan Watts, Arthur Parker, G. Facchineri, Killian Brouder, Connor Barratt, Jimmy Keohane, Aaron Bolger, Kris Twardek, David Hurley, Lee Devitt and Stephen Walsh.

🔮 Prediction

For this match, we think that Galway United have the firepower to find the net against this Drogheda United team, but that isn’t expected to be enough to avoid a loss.

We’re expecting a close game with a 2-1 victory for Drogheda United at full-time. Looking forward to this.
