Friday night also brings us an important clash in the Irish Premier Division with Bohemians taking on Dundalk as the betting tips continue at Dalymount Park.
Bohemians Prediction – Can Bohemians record back-to-back wins?
3rd placed Bohemians have no chance of catching the runaway Premier Division league leaders and tonight’s visitors, Dundalk, as the hosts are a massive 30 points adrift of their opponents, but they do have 4th placed Derry City breathing down their necks.
A narrow 1-0 home win against Cork City maintained Bohemians’ challenge for a top three finish and qualification for the Europa League that goes along with that, but they face a tough task of getting something from this clash on Friday night against Dundalk, even though they’re on home turf again for this encounter.
Having registered just 3 wins out of their last 11 matches in the Irish top flight, Bohemians’ challenge has faltered in the last couple of months despite wins over St Patricks, UCD and Cork City, so they need to up their game on Friday night if they’re to hang onto 3rd spot.
Form at home has been better though as Bohemians have lost just 2 of their last 8 matches at Dalymount Park while midfielder Mandroiu (10 goals) and forward Corcoran (7 goals) look the most likely to notch for the hosts.
Dundalk Prediction – Can Dundalk make it 10 on the bounce?
Runaway Irish Premier Division league leaders, Dundalk, have nothing left to play for except to fulfil their own personal milestones now having already claimed the domestic league title some weeks ago, as they hold a 17-point led over 2nd placed Shamrock Rovers.
It’s been an amazing season for Dundalk who have won 26 of their 33 matches played to date in this season’s title-winning campaign, and they’ll head over to face Bohemians on Friday night looking to claim a 10th league win on the trot and in turn extend their unbeaten record to an excellent 25 matches.
An away record of 11-3-2 29/7 includes winning their last 4 away matches on the trot at St Patrick’s, UCD, Sligo Rovers and Waterford, and Dundalk’s successful campaign has been built upon the goalscoring efforts of midfielder Kelly (8 goals) along with forwards Hoban (13 goals) and Duffy (11 goals) to name but a few.
Having also won 9 of the last 10 matches against Friday night’s opponents, Bohemians, Dundalk will fancy their chances of continuing this trend in this encounter.
Key-Facts – Bohemians v Dundalk
- Bohemians have lost just 2 of their last 8 home matches in the Premier Division
- Dundalk have won 26 of their 33 matches played to date in the Premier Division
- 4 of the last 7 meetings between these two teams have seen both teams score
Betting Tips Verdict
Bohemians must get something from this clash to keep Derry City at arms length while Dundalk have been excellent all season – both teams to score here.
