Following a disappointing draw last time out in the Irish Premier Division, table-toppers Shamrock Rovers will aim to maintain their grip at the top when they welcome Galway United to the Tallaght Stadium on matchday 22. Seventh-placed Galway have won just one of their last four league games and conceded seven goals. That sees our prediction leaning towards a home win and over 1.5 goals.
Shamrock Rovers still maintain a healthy six-point cushion at the top of the Irish Premier Division. However, they've played two games more than their closest challengers, St. Patrick's.
Despite being the dominant side in their recent match against Derry City, controlling 70% of ball possession, it ultimately counted for little as they were held to a 1-1 home draw.
On the bright side, the Hoops are unbeaten in their last two games and have suffered just one defeat in five games, with seven goals scored during that period.
Galway United are languishing in the bottom four and have maintained a five-point cushion over the relegation playoff spot occupied by Sligo Rovers in ninth.
Stephen Walsh powered his side to a convincing 2-1 home victory over Derry City, with his brace last time out extending his goal tally to four.
Before this, the Tribesmen were struggling for consistency, going three games without a win (D1, L2). Away from home, they are unbeaten in four games with three draws.
