The visiting Bohemians side should be favourites in this visit to Finn Harps, as the away team holds a 26 point advantage from their 27 league games this season.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Finn Harps form and stats

Finn Harps's struggle is real here at Finn Park with only 14 points collected from 14 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly 4-2-8.

Finn Harps's previous game was a Premier Division match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Derry City. The home side are looking to build on that result. Ahead of that match, Finn Harps won a home game hosting Derry City (1-0).

The Finn Harps fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 16 in 14 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 22 goals have been conceded.
