Saturday’s matchday 25 game gives Waterford a chance to move closer to the safety zone in the 2026 League of Ireland Premier Division as they visit Galway United. This match at Eamonn Deacy Park between the 7th-placed Tribesmen and the 9th-placed Blues is likely to be a high-scoring fixture, and our prediction backs over 3.5 goals.
Galway have 27 points from 23 matches (W7, D6, L10) and have a six-point lead over Waterford, who are in the relegation playoff place with 21 points (W4, D9, L11) and four points outside the safety zone.
A 4-0 home win over Crumlin Ltd saw Galway advance in the FAI Cup last Friday, their second win in a row. The other victory was a 3-2 home result over Sligo Rovers in the league, but they have won consecutive league fixtures only once this season. The Tribesmen have won their last two home league games, though, which gives them hope of ending that wait.
Waterford also advanced in the FAI Cup with a 2-1 home win over Cobh Ramblers last week, their third win over the last four games (D1). That draw came in their last league game, at home against St. Patrick’s Athletic. While the Blues have three wins from their last five league games (D1, L1), they have won their last two road trips.
