Bohemians 7/10 to beat Waterford in Friday’s Irish Premier Division showdown

Competition: Irish Premier Division

Market: Bohemians win

Odds: 7/10 @ 888sport

Hoping to continue on what has been a stellar run of form on home soil, Bohemians will host an inconsistent Waterford on Friday evening.

Starting with the hosts, while Bohemians might have seen their winning run come to an abrupt end last time out, they have enjoyed what has been a very impressive start to the new campaign. In their opening 10 Premier Division contests this year, they have recorded seven wins against three draws, scoring 12 and conceding just five strikes in return. Along with collecting a points tally of 21 and opening Friday’s fixtures sat in second and on route to another European finish, it should also be noted that Bohemians hold the best defensive record in the division. As for their recent run of results, the hosts have won five of their last six Premier Division contests and have also won each of their last four top-flight contests on home soil, bagging over 1.5 goals in each of those victories.

As for the visitors, although Waterford might have managed to end their barren run last time out, they have continued to show their glaring inconstancies since opening the new campaign. In their opening 10 Premier Division contests this year, they have recorded four wins, two draws and four defeats, scoring 12 and conceding 12 in return. Collecting a points tally of 14, they open Friday’s fixtures sat in fifth and holding just a two-point buffer from slipping into the bottom half of the standings. As for their recent run of results, despite picking up three points last week, Waterford have failed to win any of their last five matchups across all formats and have also lost back-to-back Premier Division contests on the road. Given their issues on their travels, we’re backing a home victory this week.
