Bohemians vs Sligo Rovers Predictions

• Bohemians have won seven of their ten home games
• Bohs have kept five clean sheets in their last seven outings
• Six of Sligo’s last eight matches have gone under 2.5 goals

Bohs set for comfortable win

Shamrock Rovers looked set to be cruising to another League of Ireland title but a 2-0 defeat to second-placed Bohemians last time out has announced the Bohs in the title race.

They are now just nine points behind Rovers with two games in hand, and will be looking to carry on their good recent form as they host Sligo Rovers.

The Bit O’ Red are battling it out at the opposite end of the table but have won two of their last three games to pull away from bottom side Cork City.

Bohemians’ recent success has been built on rock-solid defensive foundations, they have won five of their last seven games without conceding, and could be set for a repeat of that here.

Sligo have struggled on their travels this term, losing seven of their ten away games, and they may find it difficult to lay a glove on what has been such an impressive defence in recent times, particularly at home.

Bizarrely, Bohemians are yet to draw any of their 21 league matches, but they should be able to record another win to nil in this one.

Six of the home team’s last seven games have gone under 2.5 goals and they could grind out a 2-0 win.
