Galway and Bohemians meet with contrasting recent momentum — one side striving to climb the table, the other pushing to maintain consistency.

Galway’s most recent fixture saw them win 4–0 in the FAI Cup, showing attacking flair and confidence in their squad.
Bohemians’ latest league form includes solid home displays and a run of unbeaten matches, reinforcing their status as a top contender in the division.

Recent run

Galway: Galway’s league form this season has been poor overall, with a record of 8 wins, 10 draws, and 14 losses. Their home performances have also been inconsistent, and their away record is especially weak (2 wins, 7 draws, 7 losses). These struggles reflect difficulty maintaining form, especially on the road.
Bohemians: Bohemians come into this fixture with better momentum. They have been unbeaten in their last three league games, and their home matches have featured strong attacking control. Their away form is more variable, but their overall trajectory suggests a side in better stead than their hosts.

Home and Away Form

Galway at home

At home, Galway attempt to be active and pressing, seeking to leverage support and control the tempo. Yet their results at home have been mixed — their attack occasionally looks threatening, but defensive lapses and inconsistency in match rhythm undermine their advantage.

Bohemians on the road

Bohemians’ away record is less dependable. Their attacking outlet is often muted in away fixtures, and they must rely on structured defense and opportunistic counters. Against well-organized home sides like Galway, they may find space limited and must be efficient in transitions.

3. Head-to-Head Record

Last five meetings

In recent head-to-head contests, Bohemians have generally held the advantage, though Galway have earned wins in some of their clashes. Matches have often been tight, with margins of one goal or narrow scorelines dominating.

Overall head-to-head

Across their history, Galway United and Bohemians have met numerous times. In 42 matches since 2007, Bohemians have won 23, Galway United 10, and 9 ended in draws. On average these matches feature roughly 2.3 goals per match. In head-to-head data for 20 more recent meetings: Bohemians have 9 wins, Galway 6, with 5 draws; average goals in those is about 2.30 per game.

Bohemians’ dominance in direct encounters is clear, but the balance is not overwhelming — Galway remain capable of surprises, particularly at home.

Team News

Injuries, suspensions

Galway: No high-profile injury news is widely reported, but given their depth and form, rotation and fitness management will matter. They may choose to field their strongest attackers to exploit home advantage.
Bohemians: Bohemians enter with relatively stable selections. Their recent unbeaten run suggests squad confidence, and tactical tweaks are more likely than wholesale changes.

Tactical expectations

Galway will likely aim to press early, control midfield, and push Bohemians into defensive errors. Their objective will be to carve open spaces and take advantage of any lapses. Bohemians, in turn, may sit a bit deeper early, absorb pressure, and seek to break via quick transitions or set pieces. Their attacking backbone must remain sharp to unlock Galway’s defense if the hosts dominate possession.
