On Friday evening, the entire 20th round of the Ireland Premier Division will take place. We will focus on the duel between Derry City and Bohemians.

Derry City team overview
Derry City finished 2nd last year, making their third 2nd-place finish in the past four years. Unfortunately, this season hasn't been as great considering they are sitting in 6th place with a mere 22 points from 20 rounds. At the moment, they are much closer to the danger zone than to the European Qualifiers spots. Because of the terrible results, some sources say that coach Tiernan Lynch could soon lose his job. However, when a coach was asked, he said he would never walk away from the job and pointed out that they could still turn things around.
Central defender Patrick McClean and left full-back Brandon Fleming will both be unavailable due to an accumulation of yellow cards. The absence of Brandon Fleming would be particularly important, given that he was one of their best players despite the poor results.

Bohemians team overview
Bohemians, on the other hand, are playing their best season in a while. However, to be fair, they had some ups and downs: they opened the season strong, then went on a terrible run, and are now doing great once again. Interestingly, Bohemians have given their best performances on the road and are currently the best team in the league in that department, averaging 2.0 points per game. So, it will be interesting to see if they can continue their excellent road performance against struggling Derry City.
After a 3:1 win over Sligo Rovers, coach Alan Reynolds spoke to the media. He was pleased with the team and their reaction after a disappointing defeat to Shamrock Rovers. The coach added that the loss to Rovers will not define their season and was happy with how they controlled the game against Sligo Rovers.

Prediction
Derry City are in terrible momentum, having failed to win in the past seven games. The latest loss to Dundalk only added pressure to an already bad situation.
On the other hand, Bohemians are doing great. They won four of the last five, with their only win during that period coming against the best team in the league, Shamrock Rovers. But they did great even in that match and definitely deserved at least a draw, if not all three points.
Moreover, Bohemians already won the first h2h game this season at The Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium in Derry. Considering all the above, but especially the difference in form and Bohemians' fantastic road record, we give a slight edge to the visitors in this Premier Division tie.
3 Reasons why Bohemian should (AH 0) win
- Derry City haven't won in the past seven games
- Bohemians won four of the past five matches
- Bohemians are the best road team in the league
