Drogheda United Team Overview
Drogheda United have had a poor run towards the end of the season, losing three of their last four matches. In the most recent round they were beaten 3-1 by Waterford, which has all but ended their chances of avoiding the play-offs. After 35 matches, the hosts have 37 points, with nine wins and ten draws. Their defensive problems have been particularly evident, with 57 goals conceded. At home, Drogheda have won just 5 of their 17 league matches, so home advantage does not look like a significant factor here.

Galway United go into the final round in sixth place with 42 points. They have managed to pull clear of the danger zone, though they have won just once in their previous five matches.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Both teams have been struggling defensively, which makes this match a good candidate for goals at both ends. Galway United's statistics are particularly telling - they have scored and conceded in 12 of their last 14 away matches. Drogheda have also been regularly exposed at the back, conceding seven goals across their previous four league rounds. At the same time, the hosts found the net in each of those four matches, which shows they can create chances even when results have gone against them. Given Drogheda's attacking activity and Galway United's consistent away trend, we're backing Both Teams to Score - Yes. A score of 1-1 is possible.
