Bohemians to just do enough
Friday’s Premier Division clash between Bohemian FC Dublin and Galway United promises to be a close match as the hosts haven’t beaten Galway in any of their last 3 home matches at Dalymount. As part of our Bohemian FC Dublin vs Galway United prediction, it's important to note that Bohemians did claim a 2-1 victory in Galway two months ago, but Galway United are a stubborn unit, and will make the visitors work hard for their win.
Alan Reynolds took over at Bohemians in March 2024, and has brought a certain structure to the club’s tactics and a calm, possession-based approach to their play. Bohemians like to keep the ball and set the tempo, usually playing either a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3, and Reynolds’ influence is clear in the way that the team has tightened up in recent weeks.
Galway United are a more pragmatic unit, and Doolin, who has been in charge since August 2021, has instilled a sense of discipline in the players. The Bohemian FC Dublin vs Galway United preview highlights how Galway set up in a deep defensive block, and try to make use of the counter attack. Their 4-4-2 or 5-3-2 formation is geared towards being compact and making quick transitions.
Galway’s goalscoring issues could hamper their progress
Galway have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their last 5 Premier Division matches, and their away form is a real concern to their promotion hopes.
This Bohemian FC Dublin vs Galway United prediction also recognizes that Galway are winless in their last three away matches, losing 2 and drawing 1, and have only hit the net 12 times in 12 away fixtures, averaging a paltry 1.00 goals per game.
The Bohemian FC Dublin vs Galway United betting tips suggest that Bohemians have won 2, drawn 2 and lost 1 of their last 5, and have won 1, drawn 1 and lost 0 at home, so have a strong record as a ‘fortress’ this season. Additionally, considering the Bohemian FC Dublin vs Galway United odds, Reynolds’ men haven’t won any of their last 3 home games against Galway, so there is an element of intrigue to this fixture.
