Bohemians form and stats

2 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Bohemians playing as the away team in the Premier Division this season.

Bohemians had fun at their own home (The Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium) last time out, beating UCD 3-0. Devoy, Omochere and Ogedi-Uzokwe scored. Which player has scored three matches in a row for the away side? The answer is Ogedi-Uzokwe and that is quite the accomplishment!

A loss against Shamrock Rovers was the result prior to that, in a home game.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day.
