Dundalk vs Bohemians — Tips & Analysis

Over 3: Dundalk games are rarely quiet, and that is the main reason we want goals here. 14 of their last 20 games had 3 or more goals, and their last five produced 5, 4, 2, 6 and 5. The bigger problem is how they defend at home. Dundalk have won only 3 of 10 at Oriel Park and let in almost 2 a game. Their last two there ended 0-4 to St Patrick's Athletic and 2-3 to Shelbourne. Bohemians are the better side and they are playing well. They have won 4 of their last 5, won 10 of their last 19 overall, and score almost 2 goals a game. They are protecting third place and a European spot, so they need this. Both teams have had 14 days off, so nobody is tired and nobody gets rested. Dundalk will have spells of their own and they do score at home, which is how this opens up. The 20 games between these two average 3 goals. A 1-2 Bohemians win is the likeliest single score. That is three goals, and we want a fourth on top. Be warned though. The last five meetings produced 3, 4, 2, 2 and 2 goals, and Bohemians are far quieter on the road than their recent scorelines suggest. We still want the busier game.
