Defensive Solidity

Bohemians deploy 4 defenders rated 7.08 on average, against Galway United's 3-man backline averaging 6.77. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Bohemians field 5 midfielders averaging 6.96, versus Galway United's 5 rated —. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Bohemians start 1 forward(s) averaging 6.59, compared to 2 for Galway United averaging 6.55. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 77% for Bohemians and 47% for Galway United. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Bohemians's starters have collected 12 yellow cards this season, compared to 5 for Galway United. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of Bohemians's starting XI is 25.0 (youngest: J. McManus (20), oldest: J. Flores (30)), while Galway United average 27.7 (youngest: E. Watts (21), oldest: S. Walsh (35)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Bohemians's starters average 11 league appearances each, versus 16 for Galway United. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
