Bohemian FC

LLLWLL

Bohemian FC will be looking for an improved result here after the 0-2 Premier Division losing effort in their last game against Galway United.

In that match, Bohemian FC managed 72% possession and 31 attempts on goal with 4 on target. For their opponents, Galway United got 6 attempts on goal with 3 on target. Moses Dyer (19', 66') scored for Galway United.

It’s been all too rare in recent times that Bohemian FC have shown defensive steel. In fact, Bohemian FC have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 9 goals on the way. That trend might not be carried forward here, however.

Ahead of this clash, Bohemian FC are without a win at home for the past 2 league matches.

Sligo Rovers

LLWDLL

Since a losing effort in their last game against Shelbourne in Premier Division competition, Sligo Rovers will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that game, Sligo Rovers managed 57% possession and 14 attempts on goal with 2 on target. The only player to score for Sligo Rovers was Reece Hutchinson (45'). Shelbourne had 10 attempts on goal with 6 on target. John Martin (3') and Kerr McInroy (12') scored for Shelbourne.

The stats don’t lie, and Sligo Rovers have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, conceding 12 goals overall. At the back, Sligo Rovers have not been doing too well.

Pre-game facts show that Sligo Rovers:

• haven't been defeated by Bohemian FC when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 matches in the league.
• have not won away from home in their last 9 matches in the league. A poor run.

🗞️ Team News: Sligo Rovers

Out of a mainly full-strength group, there is just the one fitness issue for the Sligo Rovers gaffer John Russell to be concerned with. Wilson Waweru (Achilles heel problems) misses out for this game.

✨ Prediction

We’re of the view that Sligo Rovers will surely be able to score a goal against this Bohemian FC side, however that might not quite be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We can see a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning margin for Bohemian FC when all is said and done. We are expecting it to be pretty even.
