REVIEW Dundalk vs Galway United
IDDAAKOLIK POST-MATCH REVIEW

Dundalk nicked a narrow win over Galway United 2-1. It stood 0-0 at the interval — everything that mattered happened after the restart.

The way our numbers pointed is the way it went: our model had Dundalk as the likeliest winner at 59%, and the 2-1 landed on that lead.

The goals picture was genuinely open: 49% for over 2.5, 48% on both teams scoring. If anything the market was more convinced: the BTTS-yes price stood at 1.82, roughly 55%.

Under the surface, Dundalk had 61% of the ball to Galway United's 39%, shots finished 22-13, expected goals 3.42 to 1.20 — an xG gap that size says the one-goal margin undersold Dundalk's control.

Coming into the game, across their last 6 meetings in our records, Galway United led the recent series with 4 wins, 2 drawn. Those games averaged 0.50 goals for Dundalk and 2.17 for Galway United.
