Bitesize Prediction: Bohemians vs Dundalk – 07/07/23

Competition: Irish Premier Division

Market: Over 1.5 goals

Odds: 4/11 @ 1xBet

Looking to make another Premier Division statement on Friday night, Dundalk will travel to Dalymount Park when they meet a struggling Bohemians.

Starting with the hosts, while some in Bohemians’ camp might still be dreaming of a shock late-three charge, Declan Devine’s men are in the midst of what has quickly become an extended wobble. Last seen putting in a nightmare performance as they slumped to a routine 3-1 drumming at the hands of Sligo Rovers, the Dublin-based outfit have managed to muster just a single win from any of their previous nine meetings against Premier Division opposition – a run that stems all the way back to a 5-0 romp against Cork City on May 1st. Likewise, heading into the international break with a 2-1 loss against Cork, Devine will have a growing headache over his side’s continued defensive issues. On a similar note, last seen as Dalymount Park suffering a second-half collapse as they played out a thrilling 2-2 draw against Shamrock, it is worth highlighting that Bohemians have recorded just a pair of wins from their previous seven battles in front of their own supporters.

As for the visitors, while Bohemians might be enduring an extended struggle, Dundalk are enjoying what has quickly become a stellar purple patch. Last seen putting in another eye-catching display as they claimed a 2-0 victory at home against Shamrock, the Lilywhites have skyrocketed their way up the Premier Division table. With the mood around Oriel Park at a real high, Stephen O’Donnell’s men have collected 13 points from just their last five showdowns against top-flight opposition. Marking their return from June’s international break with a 2-1 win away at Drogheda, Dundalk will be looking to make another Premier Division statement on Friday night. With their recent flurry highlighted by a 4-1 victory against relegation scrappers UC Dublin on June 5th, O’Donnell’s men should also be boosted by a rugged record against the Bohs. Losing just a single top-flight battle since a 5-1 drumming at Dalymount Park back in May 2021, neutrals could be treated to an enjoyable affair this weekend.
