Galway United, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 away win over Bohemian FC in their last league game, Galway United will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They achieved 31% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Bohemian FC's tally of 19 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Manager John Caulfield will be pleased with his team's recent defensive record, having conceded just 1 goal in their last 6 games, but he will have concerns that his team are not scoring many goals, and therefore dropping points. They have been unable to score at home in 4 of their last 6 games; however, they've kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 6 games.
