Football : Ireland: Premier Division
Venue: Oriel Park
Friday 17th April 2026, 1945hrs (GMT)
Dundalk maintained their push for a possible European spot last time out in the Irish Premier Division with a point gained in a 2-2 draw at home with Derry City which also extended the hosts’ unbeaten run in the domestic top flight to a solid looking seven games.
Friday night’s hosts occupy 4th place in the Premier Division standings and having registered important recent wins against the likes of Waterford, Sligo Rovers, Shelbourne and St Patricks Athletic, Ciarán Kilduff’s side will be looking to break into the top three with all three points at Oriel Park.
The wider picture shows Dundalk have slipped to just one defeat in their last 12 league matches while the hosts still remain unbeaten on home soil so far in this season’s campaign with a home record which stands at 3-2-0 11/3.
Galway United will be going in search of a third league win on the trot in the Irish Premier Division on Friday night following recent back-to-back victories over the likes of Derry City and Drogheda United in 2-1 and 3-2 wins respectively.
These recent victories have helped lift John Caulfield’s side up into 5th place in the Premier Division table but the visitors still trail their upcoming hosts Dundalk by a four-point margin after a slow start to this new campaign.
Indeed, prior to the two recent wins, Galway United had managed to pick up just two earlier wins from their previous eight league matches which includes a poor start on the road for the visitors.
An overall away record standing at 1-1-3 4/7 suggests a tough night in store for John Caulfield’s side.
The Betting Verdict
Dundalk’s unbeaten run should see the hosts over the line here.
The Pick :
Dundalk 2-1 Galway Utd
