Bitesize Prediction: Finn Harps vs Bohemians – 10/06/22

Competition: Irish Premier Division

Market: Over 1.5 goals

Odds: 4/9 @ 888sport

Hoping to try and break into the top-half of the Premier Division table this weekend, the Finn Harps will welcome Bohemians to Ballybofey on Friday night.

Starting with the hosts, despite being last seen signing off May with an action-packed 2-2 draw away at Derry City, it does not cover what has been a hugely worrying run of form for the Finn Harps. While Ollie Horgan’s men might have managed to hang onto their Premier Division status last season, all signs are pointing towards another real scrap this time around. Managing to muster just 11 points from their 18 top-flight matchups this season, the Blues mark their return to action now sat nine points adrift of safety. Likewise, including a pair of 3-1 losses against Drogheda and Shamrock last month, the Harps have also managed to notch just a single victory since way back on March 18th. Likewise, it should also be noted, showing some rather glaring issues at the back, Friday’s hosts hold the second-worst defensive record in Ireland’s top-flight.

As for the visitors, while Bohemians might have also been last seen signing off May with their stalemate, the Dublin-based outfit do have the feel of a side seeking some stability. Marking their return to action on Friday night sat in the bottom-half of the Premier Divison table, Keith Long’s side have managed to win just one of their previous five top-flight contests. Smelling the chance to make a much-needed return to winning ways here, the Bohs will need to make some improvements at the back. Including a 3-0 drumming at the hands of St. Patrick’s last month, they have managed to muster just a single clean sheet since April 5th. Likewise, it should be highlighted, Friday’s opponents do have a habit of producing lively outcomes. With each of their last five meetings finishing with over 1.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
