Main Match Prediction

We could be set for a low-scoring League of Ireland encounter. We will therefore bet on Under 2.5 which can be backed at an eye-catching price of +104, with defences set to be on top for the most part.

Key stats supporting our main match prediction (league matches):

• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in 4 of the last 5 Galway games at home.
• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in 6 of the last 10 Galway games.
• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in the last 2 Galway games at home.
• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in 8 of the last 10 St Patrick's games on the road.
• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in 15 of the last 20 St Patrick's games.
• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in the last 2 St Patrick's games on the road.

The form guide is always considered and it’s great to also use the League of Ireland team news as it filters through ahead of kick-off. In our quest for the best possible football predictions, the latest stats are scrutinised so that we have the best data.

According to the top bookmakers, our pick has a 49% chance of landing a return. However, we think that the probability sits between 55-60% taking all factors into consideration. This is why we regard this as a value bet.

Bigger odds can be secured by going for an alternative wager where Under 2.5 Goals is combined with BTTS No. This means you need at least one team to draw a blank for the bet to land.
