Bohemians vs Dundalk Predictions

• Dundalk have dropped just two points in their last five league games.
• Bohemians have won only one of their last nine Irish Premier Division games.
• Dundalk have won their last two away games by a 2-1 scoreline.
• Dundalk have only lost one of their last eight competitive meetings with Bohemians.

Bohemians hit the rocks

Bohemians’ form has fallen off a click over the last month or so and a 3-1 defeat at seventh-placed Sligo Rovers last time out leaves them fifth in the Irish Premier Division.

They have won just one of their last nine league games, losing four, and could find their winless run extended to five matches when they host a rejuvenated Dundalk side on Friday.

Hoban can fire Dundalk to victory

The visitors have endured their own rough patches this season, but this isn’t one of them. They beat league-leaders Shamrock Rovers last Friday to make it four wins and one draw from their last five games.

Two of these wins have been away from home and both ended 2-1 to Friday’s underdogs. With Bohemians winning just one of their last four at home and claiming only one win from their last eight competitive meetings with Dundalk, the visitors look a solid shout in the double chance market and a third-successive 2-1 away win is a promising correct score prediction.

The return to form of Patrick Hoban has been key in Dundalk’s success and the 31-year-old striker could get himself on the scoresheet again at Dalymount Park. He has scored six goals in his last five appearances and netted both goals in Dundalk’s last away game.
