Looking at the pre-match facts, Shelbourne:

• have not lost a league tie with Bohemian FC in their last 2 matches.

Bohemian FC

DWWWWW 🔥

Bohemian FC will go into the match following on from a 1-0 Premier Division win with the eclipse of Galway United in their previous outing.

In that match, Bohemian FC had 70% possession and 12 shots on goal with 6 on target. The only player to score for Bohemian FC was Patrick Hickey (87'). On the other side, Galway United had 9 attempts on goal with 2 of them 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.

✨ 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.
