Bohemians v Derry City

Bohemians vs Derry City Preview

Bohemians were handed a disappointing 2-1 loss away from home at Waterford last time out in the Irish Premier Division which has left Thursday night's hosts sitting in the lower half of the domestic top flight in seventh place, while Derry City picked up a second win on the trot by way of a 2-0 home win against Galway United which helped maintain the visitors' place in second spot in the Premier Division table.

Recent results have certainly seen a downturn trend for Bohemians who have managed to capture just the one win from their last seven matches overall which came in the form of a 3-0 win away from home at Sligo Rovers but the hosts have also slipped to four defeats within this period as well.

Losses at the hands of Dundalk, Galway United, Derry City and Waterford respectively have prevented Bohemians from lifting themselves further up the domestic top flight table and having lost four of their last seven games overall, it may be best to opt for the goals market for this upcoming fixture.

Indeed, six out of Bohemians' last 10 games overall have resulted in Under 2.5 goals, while the same ratio applies to the hosts' last 10 home games.

Derry City maintained their place in second spot in the Premier Division table following a recent 2-0 home win against Galway United which came after securing a 3-0 home win against Waterford, while the bigger picture shows the visitors have slipped to just one defeat within their last 11 matches overall.

That single loss came in the shape of a 1-0 loss on the road at Shamrock Rovers but having collected six wins within these 11 games Derry City will be in confident mood as they prepare for this upcoming trip to Dalymount Park on Thursday night.

However, it is worth noting that four of Derry City's six aforementioned wins were achieved on home soil at their Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium while only two were picked up on the road by way of victories at Waterford and St Patrick's Athletic.

In fact, the bigger picture shows Derry City have managed to collect just two wins from their previous 10 outings on the road while slipping to two defeats in the process, along with being involved in no fewer than six stalemates as well.

The goals market again appeals here though as seven out of Derry City's last 10 outings on their travels have also produced two goals or fewer and another low-scoring affair could be on the cards at Dalymount Park.

Bohemians v Derry City Verdict
