Bohemians vs Waterford Prediction & Betting Tips (9 August)

Bohemians must win to stand any chance of progressing from this tie, and this is something that Bohemians have managed in six of their previous eight home games in the Premier Division. Waterford, by way of contrast, have suffered three defeats in four away matches at this level recently, whilst they have triumphed only once in six attempts on the road of late.

None of the last nine Bohemians home games in the Premier Division have produced more than a couple of goals, with the net bulging a grand total of ten times across these contests. Not only that, but each of the previous five Waterford matches at this level has followed the same pattern, so it would come as a surprise to see three goals or more.

Both teams have found the net in just four of the most recent 17 Bohemians home fixtures at the top table of the Premier Division, whilst they have drawn a blank themselves in five of their last six Premier Division games overall. As for Waterford, they have either kept a clean sheet or failed to score in five of their previous six away encounters at this elite level of the domestic game.
