Odds: 1/2 @ 888sport

Hoping to try and find a route back to the top of the First Division table on Friday night, Galway will make the trip to Longford this weekend.

Starting with the hosts, managing to pick up their first victory of the 2022/23 campaign last time out, there is no doubt that Longford will be desperate to build off of that display here. In their opening three First Division matchups this season, they have recorded one win, one draw and one defeat, scoring four and conceding two in return. Managing to muster a points tally of four from a possible nine, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat sixth in the standings and already nine points adrift of Friday’s guests. As for their recent run of results, last seen storming their way to a thumping 3-0 win away at Wexford, that result was Longford’s first from their previous 16 across all formats. Likewise, it should be highlighted, the hosts have seen nine of their last 10 fixtures finish with over 1.5 goals.

As for the visitors, putting in another impressive display last time out, Galway have continued on a real purple patch so far. In their opening five First Division matchups this season, they have recorded four wins against a single draw, scoring 10 and conceding five in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 13 from a possible 15, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat second in the table and with just their goal difference keeping them off top spot. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 2-1 victory against Athlone on the road, Galway have won each of their previous three First Division matchups on the spin. Likewise, it should be highlighted, with Friday’s guests seeing their last four fixtures finish with over 1.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
