Blues are better in the last couple of games
Two clubs at opposite ends of the Premier Division 2025 table face off on Friday when struggling Waterford host third-placed Bohemian FC Dublin.
The Blues sit eighth in the table with 23 points after 18 games and are typical mid-table fare in the league right now. The latest Waterford FC vs Bohemian FC Dublin prediction puts Bohs, who have 30 points from the same number of games, in a small group of clubs trying to push for top spots.
John Coleman has made a positive impression since taking over as Waterford manager in May and has fashioned a more organised, disciplined team than many of their recent predecessors. Padraig Amond is the main goal threat with six in 18 league games this season, three of which have come in Waterford’s last five.
Bohs boss Alan Reynolds has a different remit and his team play with a positive, high-tempo approach to the game.

Sean Grehan is a set-piece weapon for them and has scored two of Bohs’ last 5 league goals. Colm Whelan is the club’s top scorer with four league goals from 18 appearances and can lead the line with energy.
