How it turned out

We projected about 2.8 goals and the game finished with 3. Both teams scored. We made Under 3.5 goals 71%, and it landed.

What we said beforehand

We expect about 1.7 goals from Dundalk and 1.1 from Galway, so Dundalk come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.8 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Galway come into this on four straight draws. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Under 3.5 goals. This has the look of a cagey, low-scoring game — around 2.8 goals in total (xG 1.7-1.2), keeping it under more often than not (about 74%). Clear chances should be at a premium.

We put the chance of that landing at about 71 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.55, which works out at about 65 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.
