Bohemians vs Dundalk
Ireland Premier Division
Date: Wednesday, 5th July 2017
Kick off at 19:45 UK/ 20:45 CET
Venue: Dalymount Park.
Match Preview& Betting Tips
The only mid – week fixture in Ireland Premier Division is going to take place on Wednesday night at Dalymount Park. Bohemians will be the ones to attempt to stop the reigning champions Dundalk and their furious streak of victories in the last couple of weeks, but judging by the odds, they do not have a lot of chances to do it.
Dundalk have had an awful start of the new season, allowing Cork City to create huge gap of 15 points even though we are only 20 rounds into the new campaign. The path of recovery is going to be painful but it already started with four consecutive victories and stunning 15 – 0 goal difference. This is why the odds on away win are at so low 2/5 price.
The last four head to head clashes between these opponents have always ended the same – with Dundalk taking three points. The last time they have done it was in late April at Oriel Park. McMillan and Duffy have secured the victory for Stephen Kenny’s team, which is also going to participate in UEFA Champions League qualifiers next week. They are huge underdogs going against Rosenborg.
Since Bohemians have lost 50% of their home duels so far, we got no other choice but to back Dundalk to win the game. Option with slightly better value 1/1 is away win HT and FT.
Bohemians
The hosts climbed up the Premier Division ladder thanks to a positive streak of three wins and a draw in last four league outings.
The manager Keith Long can be especially satisfied with his team’s defensive line which allowed no more than a single goal in last three fixtures.
The latest of the successes came on Friday when the hosts clinched a comfortable 2-0 win over Sligo Rovers. The star man Dinny Corcoran was on target once again as he took his league tally to 10 goals in 12 appearances for Bohemians.
Dundalk
The Lilywhites may have lost the title race with Cork City who have been impeccable so far in the season, but they still remain a formidable force when it comes to the rest of the league.
The 12-time Premier Division winners claimed four consecutive wins by at least two goals difference without conceding a single goal along the way.
Bohemians vs Dundalk: Head to head
Bohemians have been much more successful over the history, but Dundalk completely dominated the match-up in the most recent years.
The Lilywhites have four straight victories in meetings with Bohemians, including the one from mid-April this year at Oriel Park (2-0).
Bohemians vs Dundalk: Prediction
With all due respect to impressive defensive displays Bohemians showed lately, we can’t back anything else but Dundalk to maintain the hot run and claim a comprehensive win by at least two goals here.
