Drogheda United – Galway United

Drogheda United host Galway United at the Weavers Park with both sides keen to climb the table. The home side sit ninth with 37 points from nine wins, ten draws and fifteen defeats, having scored 41 and conceded 54, while Galway sit two places higher in seventh, boasting 41 points from ten victories, eleven draws and thirteen losses and a slightly better goal difference of 46‑51. A win would lift Drogheda into the top‑eight for the first time this season, whereas Galway aim to close the gap on the leaders and maintain their push for a European spot. The two clubs have already met several times this campaign, each taking a point from the other, so the encounter promises another tightly contested battle. Both managers will be looking to turn the fine margins in their favour as the season reaches its decisive phase.
