Galway United return to Eamonn Deacy Park on Saturday at 17:00 with both teams to score trends pointing to another goal-laden Premier Division clash against Waterford.
Why this match looks set for goals
Both teams to score has featured in 16 of Galway United’s 23 Premier Division games this season, a 70% rate that climbs to 87% in their last 15 outings. Waterford’s recent fixtures have been even more explosive, averaging 4.18 goals per game over their past 11 matches, with BTTS landing in nine of those. Their head-to-head record this term already shows two BTTS results, and the pattern points to another goal-fest on home soil.
How Galway United’s season stacks up
Galway United sit eighth in the Premier Division with 39 points from 36 games, seven adrift of Shamrock Rovers at the summit. They’ve shipped 44 goals-seven more than they’ve scored-and their last five results read 0W-3D-2L (DDLLD) to leave them in need of a lift. The November stalemate at Waterford left both sides with a share of the points, but the return fixture at home offers a fresh chance to break the deadlock.
What the numbers say about Eamonn Deacy Park
Home advantage has been kind to Galway United this season. BTTS has paid out in eight of their nine league games at Eamonn Deacy Park, a streak that stretches back to earlier in the campaign. Waterford’s away record shows nine BTTS results from their last 11 Allsvenskan-style high-tempo trips, so the ingredients for another open game are all in place.
League standing (final 2025 table - new season not yet under way): 8th in Premier Division, 39 pts, 9W-12D-15L from 36 games, recent form DLDWW.
