Bohemians vs Galway

Bohemians are aiming to maintain the pressure on the front runners as they host Galway in a Friday night Irish Premier Division clash.

The hosts often do their best work in front of their fans and will be feeling confident heading into this clash. They should have too much for the visitors, who are struggling to find their best form at the moment.

Bohemians News

Bohemians come into this clash off the back of a 0-0 draw at St Patrick's in their previous Premier Division clash. That was the second straight draw from Alan Reynolds' team following a 1-1 home scoreline with Sligo Rovers.

Sitting third in the table, 11 points behind leaders Shamrock Rovers, Bohemians will be keen to get back to winning ways. They are unbeaten in seven of their last eight league matches, picking up six wins on this run.

Bohemians like to make fast starts at home and have scored first in five of their last eight home matches. They have also won the first half in two of their last three fixtures in front of their fans.

Galway News

Galway are coming off a defeat as they fell 1-0 at Drogheda in their previous fixture. That result means they are winless in five of their last six matches and currently sit seventh in the table.

Manager John Caulfield will be desperate for an immediate turnaround in fortunes, but Galway travel to Dalymount Park with a poor record on their travels. They are without a win in their last seven away matches, suffering four defeats in this time.

Galway often struggle with a lack of cutting edge in attack and have failed to score in four of their last six away matches. The few goals they have scored came after the break, a trend that has seen them fail to win the first half in five of their last six fixtures on the road.

Head to Head

Bohemians have six wins and four draws while Galway have picked up just two wins from the last 12 meetings. The hosts claimed a 2-1 away victory in the last meeting back in May.

Verdict

Bohemians Dublin v Galway United

Bohemians will be desperate to make a swift return to winning ways, having won six of their last eight home matches. They should have the upper hand over Galway, who are winless in their last seven away matches.

The hosts will look to make a fast start on Friday and having scored first in five of their last eight home matches, could be backed to grab the opening goal. They have also won the first half in two of their last three fixtures in front of their fans, and a repeat could be expected here.
