Bohemian FC

DWWWWW 🔥

Bohemian FC will go into the match after a 1-0 Premier Division win in the defeat of Galway United in their last game.

In that match, Bohemian FC had 70% possession and 12 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. The scorer for Bohemian FC was Patrick Hickey (87'). For their opponents, Galway United had 9 shots at goal with 2 on target.

A sequence of very capable showings by the Bohemian FC defence has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 2 from their past 6 outings combined. Over that same period, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 10. However, it remains to be seen if that pattern will be maintained in this next game.

Leading up to this clash, Bohemian FC:

• have not won against Shelbourne in games played away from home for the previous 3 league matches.
• are undefeated in their previous 4 league matches away from home.
