It's still early in the Premier Division season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Waterford United - Bohemians preview!
- Waterford United have the most dropped points from leading position (6) in Premier Division
- Bohemians have the most matches under the total-line (3) in Premier Division
Waterford United and Bohemians should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Waterford United form and stats
The home fans saw their team lose the first Premier Division game of the season here at Waterford Regional Sports Centre. Last season these fans witnessed 4 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses from Waterford United's 9 home games.
Waterford lost their last game at Finn Harps (placed 2nd) after a 1-2 scoreline. In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Derry City.
Heartbreak for Waterford in their last match as Finn Harps's D. Webster scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
The manager K. Sheedy will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to St Patrick's in only four days.
At Waterford Regional Sports Centre, Waterford United has the goal stats of 1-2 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
Bohemians form and stats
Things could have gone better for Bohemians in their Premier Division away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
It's the second away game in a row for Bohemians, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Dundalk (placed 9th) in the Premier Division last time out. A loss against St Patrick's was the result prior to that, in a home game.
After this away game Bohemians return home for a Premier Division game against Sligo Rovers. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Bohemians have the goal stats of 1-1 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Waterford, three draws and two wins for Bohemians. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.Top Goalscorers
