- Waterford FC are in form, unbeaten in 5 with 3 wins and 2 draws.
- Bohemian FC Dublin are also in form, unbeaten in 5 with 3 wins and 2 draws.
- The hosts score 1.23 goals per home game, so they don't often let loose.
Waterford can make a match of it
Graham Coughlan has done a good job since his appointment as Waterford FC manager on 6 May 2026, making them compact, solid and difficult to crack. Tom Lonergan is their man in form, having scored 3 goals in their last 5 games to make it 12 Premier Division 2026 goals in 23 appearances.
Bohemian FC Dublin's key man has been Douglas James-Taylor, who has scored 4 times in his last 5 games as Bohemians have scored 7 times in total. Colm Whelan has been their sharpest finisher all season with 9 goals in 25 Premier Division 2026 appearances.
Waterford FC are in 9th place in the Premier Division 2026 with 25 points from 26 matches, while Bohemians are in 3rd with 43 points from 25 games, a disparity which shows the league form between these two teams in 2026. However, the hosts are in good form and could make this tricky for the visitors on Sunday.
Bohemian FC Dublin will be a tough nut to crack themselves as Alan Reynolds' possession-first, attack-minded side is beginning to reap rewards.
The away side are the likelier winners
Bohemian FC Dublin are the clear choice at 16/25, although Waterford FC are decent value at 73/20 and the draw, at 31/10, is also tempting.
Bohemian FC Dublin have an 8-2-3 away record in the Premier Division 2026, which is one of the better records in the league, while Waterford FC are 3-7-3 at home, so it's difficult to fancy the home side too much.
Their last meeting in the Premier Division 2026 was a 1-1 draw at Dalymount Park, a cagey affair typical of this pair, who know each other very well indeed. These teams don't suit each other and this could easily become a chess match with the visitors probing for gaps and the home team trying to frustrate and nick one on the break or from a dead ball.
Spoils could be shared
A narrow Bohemians win seems the likeliest result, but Waterford have enough momentum to make it close and get something from the game, so a draw is the alternative recommendation here.
These two sides have both been in good goal-scoring form in their respective recent runs, so both teams to score will also be a live bet on Sunday.
Across 5 head-to-heads at Waterford RSC, the stats say the average score has been 1-1, with the Blues scoring 1.0 and the Hoops 1.0, so a cagey 1-1 draw appeals to us in the correct score market, although a 2-0 away win isn't out of the question.
Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score, yes, will be the main selections for Sunday's Premier Division 2026 clash, while a Bohemians win or draw double chance will be the selection for the result.
