Bohemian FC

DWWWWW 🔥

Bohemian FC will go into this match following a 1-0 Premier Division win versus Galway United in their most recent outing.

In that game, Bohemian FC managed 70% possession and 12 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. The only player to score for Bohemian FC was Patrick Hickey (87'). Galway United had 9 attempts on 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.

📋 Team News: Shelbourne

In all likelihood, The Shels should make use of the 4-2-3-1 formation in the match and select Wessel Speel, Sean Gannon, Zeno Rossi, Kameron Ledwidge, James Norris, Jack Henry-Francis, Kerr McInroy, Daniel Kelly, Harry Wood, Maill Lundgren and John Martin.

📰 Team News: Bohemian FC

It’s our belief that The Bohs appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup, settling for Kacper Chorazka, Niall Morahan, Patrick Hickey, Sam Todd, Senan Mullen, Dawson Devoy, Adam McDonnell, Harry Vaughan, Ross Tierney, Connor Parsons and Colm Whelan.

💡 Prediction

In our view, Bohemian FC will likely be able to score against this Shelbourne lineup, although that may not quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We think that it’s going to be a very close game with a 2-1 advantage for Shelbourne when the full-time whistle blows. It will be interesting to see how this one goes.
