Galway United are looking for their first win in four games as they face Derry City at Pearse Stadium on Friday. The Tribesmen, managed by John Caulfield, have been playing away from their home stadium, Eamonn Deacy Park, due to drainage works and are currently groundsharing with Galway GAA at Pearse Stadium. Their last outing was a 1-0 loss to Dundalk, which left them seventh in the League of Ireland Premier table with 21 points, just two above ninth-placed Sligo Rovers. Galway have won just one of their last nine matches, a 4-1 victory over Sligo Rovers on May 16. Derry City, managed by Tiernan Lynch, are sixth in the table with 25 points and are looking to build on their win over Bohemians last Friday. The Candystripes came from behind to thrash Bohemians 4-1, with James Clarke scoring a brace. Galway United have a largely fit squad, but will be without right-sided striker Dara McGuinness, who has been sidelined since October 2025. Stephen Walsh is set to lead the line, supported by Kristopher Twardek and Edward McCarthy from out wide. Derry City are missing goalkeeper Brian Maher due to a broken wrist, while centre-back Robert Slevin is a doubt with a knock. The match is a crucial one for both teams, with Galway United looking to climb the table and Derry City aiming to show that their win over Bohemians was not a one-off. The Tribesmen have found the back of the net in 10 of their 11 most recent games, and will be looking to remain composed at the back to earn a point. Derry City will be keen to seize back-to-back wins, which could lift them to within six points of the top three. Galway United's possible starting lineup is Watts; Barratt, Williams, Brouder, Devitt; Keohane, Bolger; Twardek, Hurley, McCarthy; Walsh. Derry City's possible starting lineup is not yet confirmed, but they may opt for a central defensive trio of Conor Barr, Jamie Stott and Brandon Fleming, with Barry Cotter and Ben Doherty at wing-back. The match kicks off at Pearse Stadium on Friday, with both teams looking to take all three points. Galway United's fans will be hoping that their team can end their winless run and climb the table. Derry City's fans will be looking for their team to build on their win over Bohemians and show that they are a force to be reckoned with in the League of Ireland Premier.
