Waterford FC v Galway United : Premier Division match betting preview, prediction and odds

Fri 27th Sep, 19:45 BST, Waterford Regional Sports Centre, Waterford

Galway United are on the road on Friday evening, as manager John Caulfield takes his side to visit Waterford FC and Keith Long at the Waterford Regional Sports Centre in the Premier Division. Stats power the algorithmic predictions below for all the markets, and switching between them will display bespoke analysis, including head-to-head, form and unique league tables. Odds from leading bookmakers are also provided. Hit the tabs below to find out more.

Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

There's 75% chance of Waterford and Galway a maximum of 3 goals combined during this Premier Division game according to our predictive algorithm and, without a strong favourite in the WDW market, we think that's a great tip here. Our calculations are made based on recent form, historical head-to-head (H2H) statistics and the view of the betting market, and you can go with it at a best price of 1.22.
