How Dundalk and Bohemians Arrive

Dundalk have won just one of their last five league matches and have lost their previous three home games, conceding nine goals during that run. Their attack remains dangerous, however, with the team scoring in four of their last five league fixtures.

Bohemians arrive in much stronger form after four straight Premier Division victories, scoring 13 goals across that sequence. They have shown plenty of attacking quality, although three of those four wins also saw them concede.

Key factors:

  • Recent momentum: Bohemians have won four consecutive league games.
  • Dundalk’s home form: Three straight defeats at Oriel Park are a major concern.
  • Goals trend: Nine of the teams’ combined last ten league games have gone over 2.5 goals.
  • Both teams scoring: BTTS landed in four of the last five league matches for both clubs.
  • Head-to-head: Both teams scored in all three meetings between Dundalk and Bohemians this season.

The recent numbers favour Bohemians, but Dundalk’s attacking record means an away clean sheet looks far from guaranteed. This has the profile of an open game where both sides should have opportunities.

The market has Bohemians as favourites, which is understandable given the gap in recent league form. The short prices around BTTS and over 2.5 goals also reflect how frequently both sides have been involved in open matches recently.

At around Evens, I can make a case for the straight Bohemians win. For the safer selection, though, I prefer both teams to score because it does not require Dundalk’s defence to hold up or Bohemians to dominate the game from start to finish.

Both Teams to Score

Coefficient 1.50

Eight of their combined last ten league games have landed BTTS, and all three meetings this season did too. I don't need to overthink this one.

Bohs are flying, but Dundalk still carry a threat at Oriel Park. I'm backing the visitors to edge a lively one.
