Bohemians form and stats

Bohemians, who have the most scored goals (13) at home in Premier Division, have collected 7 points from their Premier Division home games so far after 2-1-3. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Bohemians after consecutive victories at their own ground.

Bohemians's last game was hosting Dundalk (placed 7th) and winning 5-1. As mentioned above, Bohemians "killed" Dundalk in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. G. Kelly was absolutely essential when Bohemians beat Dundalk 5-1, scoring three goals.

Prior to that, an away loss at St Patrick's.

The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Bohemians home games with this odds we find two games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in two wins, zero draws and zero defeats. Looking at the victories, one match were won by at least two goals.

The Bohemians manager K. Long has got the team scoring with 13 from 6 home games in the league. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 9 goals have been conceded.

Waterford United form and stats

There's been little loot from Waterford United's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 6 away games in the Premier Division. Waterford United, who have the fewest scored goals (6) in Premier Division, only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 0 draws. It's looking increasingly bleak for Waterford United who now has to deal with a six game losing streak. Longford Town was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Waterford United failed to get anything from their last game, a Premier Division home match vs Finn Harps (placed 5th) that ended with defeat 1-2.

A loss against Derry City was the result prior to that, in a home game.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Waterford played away with similar odds. This revealed six games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, one were draw and the home team won as expected five times.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Waterford's away games in the league this season with only 3 goals from 6 matches. Waterford United have conceded 11 goals in these games.
