Cork City vs Bohemian FC prediction 05.06.2023

• Competition: Premier Division
• Date: Monday, 5th June 2023
• Kickoff: 17:00 UK / 18:00 CEST
• Venue: Turners Cross (Cork)

Cork City gained promotion the last season but did not have the best start in Premier Division. After 15 rounds, they had just nine points, but with three wins in the previous three rounds, they closed the gap between them and the teams in the safe zone. Now, they are in 9th place with just two points away from 8th-placed Drogheda. 

Bohemian FC failed to win the title in Premier Division for the last nine seasons. In the current one, they are in a good position after 18 rounds. They have three points fewer than the first-placed Shamrock, but Shamrock played one extra game. 

Cork City vs Bohemian FC pick: Under 2.5 goals

After a terrible stretch of games with six losses in a row, Cork City finally found their rhythm. They won against Sligo Rovers, Shamrock Rovers, and Drogheda, all by the same result - 1:0. 

Defensively, Cork City heavily improved. Just for comparison, Cork City had only two clean sheets in the first 15 rounds and three in the last three matches. 

Bohemian FC were four times under 2.5 goals in the previous five games. In the last two games, they managed to keep a clean sheet. But the more impressive thing about those games is that Bohemian allowed only two shots on goals to the opposing teams.

Bohemian FC have the fewest games (two) with three or more goals on the road in nine rounds in Premier Division.

Since both teams stepped up defensively, an under 2.5 goals bet should be the best choice in this match.
