- Bohs have won their last 5 matches in all competitions.
- Bohs have won the last 2 meetings between the clubs, including a 2-0 away win over Drogheda in the Premier Division 2026 2 months ago.
- Drogheda United have won 3, drawn 4 and lost 7 of their 14 away matches in the Premier Division 2026, conceding 27 goals.
Drogheda can be a tough nut to crack
3rd placed Bohemian FC Dublin are 6 places above 9th placed Drogheda United in the Premier Division 2026, so this should be a home bankers. However, Kevin Doherty's men can be tough to break down on their day and we may see a cagey affair at Dalymount Park on Friday.
Bohs boss Alan Reynolds has been in charge at Dalymount since March 2024 and his side have won 6, drawn 6 and lost 3 of their 15 home fixtures in the Premier Division 2026, giving up just 18 goals. Bohs are proactive and possession-based, with a selective press and plenty of width in their attacking set up.
Drogheda are more compact and counter-punching, preferring to sit in a low-risk block and look to pounce on transitions. Kevin Doherty has been in charge since December 2021 and his Drogs have won 2 and lost 3 of their last 5 in all current competitions.
Bohs can squeeze out a win
Bohs are a clear odds-on favorite at 51/100 for this game, with the draw at 31/10 and Drogheda out at 243/50. Bohs are much the stronger team, however, and should edge this one.
Bohs are on a 5-match winning streak after claiming a 3-2 victory away to Galway United in the Premier Division 2026 today, following a 0-0 draw and penalty shootout win over St Patrick's Athletic in the cup on Tuesday.
Drogheda defeated Sligo Rovers 2-0 at home in the league today but they had lost 2 games prior to that to Dundalk and Galway United. And they failed to win the last time they visited Bohemians, so we'll take the hosts to get the job done.
Bohs are 3rd in the Premier Division 2026 table with 53 points from 30 games, while Drogs are 9th with 31 points from 30 matches.
Colm Whelan has 12 Premier Division 2026 goals in 30 appearances for Bohs and should give them an edge in the final third, where Drogheda's best hope is Mark Doyle with 9 goals in 28 games. But Keegan Ancelin has chipped in with 3 in the Drogs' last 5 games and may be able to provide them with a spark going forward.
Bohs to win and under 3.5 goals looks a neat alternative, with the hosts able to control the game for long periods and Drogheda trying to keep things cagey and hit on the break.
