General match analysis

Bohemians come into this match in significantly better form: they have won 4 of their last 5 matches and remain unbeaten, while Dundalk have recorded just 1 win and 3 defeats. The visitors scored 14 goals during this period, compared with 8 for the hosts; Dundalk also conceded as many as 14 goals, versus 7 by Bohemians. At home, Dundalk average 1.56 goals scored but concede the same amount, while Bohemians score 1.87 goals per game away from home and concede 1.20. The quality of chances created is similar — Dundalk's home xG stands at 1.80, while Bohemians' away xG is 1.74 — but the visitors are more clinical, converting 12% of their shots compared with 10%, and keep more clean sheets away from home than the hosts do at home (47% versus 25%). Bohemians' edge in finishing and defensive solidity makes an away win the most likely outcome.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

BTTS landed in 75% of Dundalk’s matches and 53% of Bohemians’ matches, while the figure stood at 80% in each team’s last 5 games. Both sides score regularly: their season averages are 1.69 and 1.87 goals respectively, with xG of 1.84 and 1.74. Bohemians’ chances of scoring are boosted by the fact that Dundalk have conceded 14 goals in their last 5 matches, an average of 2.8 per game. The hosts also have good reason to find the net, although the visitors’ 47% clean-sheet rate is a significant argument against BTTS. However, the teams’ recent scoring form makes goals at both ends the more likely scenario.

Over/Under - goals analysis

Dundalk average 1.69 goals scored, while Bohemians average 1.87, providing a solid basis for expecting goals at both ends. In their last five matches, the hosts conceded an average of 2.8 goals, while the visitors scored 2.8 and generated chances worth 2.34 xG per match. Over 1.5 goals landed in 88% of Dundalk’s matches and 73% of Bohemians’ matches, giving it stronger backing than the Over 2.5 line, which landed in 56% and 67% of their matches, respectively. Although the projected total is 3.30 goals, backing Over 1.5 offers a greater margin of safety given the difference between the teams’ season-long results.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

The strongest indication is that Bohemians will lead at the break and maintain their advantage until the end of the match. Dundalk were trailing at half-time in 3 of their last 5 matches and did not lead at the break in any of them, while Bohemians led in 2 of 5. The visitors have won 4 of their last 5 matches and scored an average of 2.8 goals, whereas the hosts have won only once and conceded an average of 2.8 goals. Bohemians’ second-half performance also supports the prospect of them maintaining their lead: they score an average of 1.2 goals after the break and win 60% of second halves, compared with 38% for Dundalk. A half-time draw remains a significant alternative, as the hosts recorded one in 44% of their matches, so the X/2 scenario is assigned a similar, albeit lower, probability.
