Bohemians take on the visitors Dundalk in the round 23 match of Irish Premier Division. The match will be played on Friday, June 7th at Dalymount Park (Dublin).
Bohemians, the capital city team, is currently going through a mini-crisis. They have been displaying weak football and have been losing points in their recent matches. At times, they appear decent on the field but simply have no luck. As a result, they have dropped to fifth place in the table, with four winless matches. While they managed to secure draws against title contenders such as Derry City (0-0) and Shamrock Rovers (2-2), they lost to relatively weaker opponents like Cork City (1-2) and Sligo Rovers (1-3). Even in home matches, Bohemians have struggled to win, with only one victory in their last four home games.

On the other hand, Dundalk have significantly improved this summer and has remained unbeaten in the league for five consecutive rounds, earning 13 out of 15 possible points. During this period, the ten-time national champions only dropped points once, in a draw against St. Patrick's (1-1). They defeated UCD Dublin (4-1), Cork City (2-1), Drogheda United (2-1), and in the latest round, the reigning champions and current season's leaders Shamrock Rovers (2-0). Dundalk has gained momentum, and it is possible for them to at least secure a draw against crisis-stricken Bohemians.
I will go with the bet X2. Dundalk is currently in excellent form, while Bohemians have struggled even to secure draws in recent times. Although the hosts have two matches in hand, they still need to earn points from those matches. The visitors currently have a four-point advantage over their opponent and are closer to potential medal positions. In head-to-head encounters, Dundalk has proven to be a challenging opponent for Bohemians. In their last five meetings, Bohemians have only managed one victory, with one draw and three defeats. It is quite likely that the capital team will drop points in the league for the fifth consecutive time in this match.
Prediction for the match: Dundalk not to lose (X2).
