Shelbourne will face Galway United at Tolka Park in the League of Ireland , aiming to secure a victory that will help them stay ahead at the top of the table.

Shelbourne's impressive campaign sees them leading the League of Ireland after 22 games with 43 points, even holding a game in hand over second-placed Derry City.

Their current pace suggests they could finish with 70 points, a significant improvement over last season's 60 points. Since their return to the top flight in 2022, Shelbourne's trajectory has been upward, from seventh place with 41 points in their first season back to fourth in 2023.

Despite their first-place position, Shelbourne doesn't boast the league's best offensive or defensive records, ranking fourth in goals scored (25) and second in goals conceded (14).

On the other hand, Galway United won their recent league game against Drogheda United but had suffered losses in their two previous matches. They've also struggled away, losing their last two away games and winning only five out of their last 36 top-flight matches on the road.

However, this season has been a solid return for Galway, winning four and drawing three of their away games in the league after their promotion back to Ireland's premier division in 2017.
