How Galway United's matches tend to go

Their games land close to the Premier Division norm for goals — 48% over 2.5 against a division average of 52%. That ranks them 6th of 10 for goals in their matches, 8th for scoring (1.33 a game) and 5th for goals conceded (1.45). They've kept 4 clean sheets and failed to score 9 times in 33 games — the goals dry up more often than the back line holds.

Across 33 matches with half-time data, 58% of the goals in their games have come after the break (39 before, 53 after). Galway United themselves have scored 19 in first halves and 25 in second.

Streaks read louder than they predict: our break study found a three-game goals run carries roughly ±4.6 points of signal — real, but small, and it resets entirely after a long lay-off.
