In the previous h2h game, we saw a 3:1 win for Bohemians on the road in early May. It was an even match, but after Cornwall's red card in the 67th minute, Bohemians took control and eventually secured a win. Looking further back, over the past ten h2h games, Bohemians won five, and Dundalk only one.
When it comes to the number of goals, four of the past ten h2h games ended with three or more goals, while both teams scored in six of them.
Bohemians team overview
Last year, by finishing 4th, Bohemians secured a return to European Qualifiers for the first time since 2021, when they played in the Conference League Qualifiers. This year, they were good overall, but they had some ups and downs along the way. At the moment, they sit in 3rd place with 34 points from 21 rounds - just six points away from the top spot. However, they lost two of the past four and allowed seven goals, and will have to improve in that department.
After a 4:1 loss to Derry City, coach Alan Reynolds spoke to the media. He said they started well and deservedly took the lead, but then fell apart. The coach added that there is no excuse for the collapse and inability to regain control once Derry gained momentum.

Dundalk team overview
Dundalk suffered an unexpected relegation in 2024 but managed to return instantly ot Irish top flight in the following season. This season, the Lilywhites opened the season poorly and needed six rounds to secure their first victory. However, they are getting better as the season progresses, and have now managed to win three of the past four games. They even won 1:0 against the league's best team, Shamrock Rovers.
After a 1:0 win over Galway, coach Ciarán Kilduff spoke to the media. He said they deserved all three points, praising their performance over the course of the game. The coach was especially satisfied with the team discipline and collective work rate, calling it another example of their strong character.

Prediction
Bohemians were excellent for this type of bet, going over 2.5 goals in seven consecutive games. In the past few games, they have shown significant defensive flaws, and we believe their inability to defend will make this game high-scoring. Also, Bohemians have gone over 2.5 goals in 12 of 21 games thus far and are the second-best team in the league for this bet.
Dundalk weren't as great for this type of bet lately, but still went over 2.5 goals in four of the past seven games. On the road, they have been considerably weaker than at home, averaging almost one goal per game more (0.8 gpg more to be exact).
Considering all the above, we expect a high-scoring game, very likely with both teams scoring.
3 Reasons why we should see three or more goals
- Bohemians went over 2.5 goals in the previous seven games
- Bohemians allowed nine goals in the past four games - 2.25 per game
- Dundalk allowed 2+ goals in six out of ten road games
