Bohemians take on the visitors UC Dublin in the round 25 match pf Irish Premier Division. The match will be played on Friday, July 28th at Dalymount Park (Dublin).
Bohemians, based in the capital, finished sixth in the championship last season. Currently, they are in fourth place and still have a chance to compete for medals and a spot in the European competitions. A home match against the weakest team in the league is an excellent opportunity for the 11-time country champion to significantly improve their league position and goal difference. After all, they will be playing against the main underdog of the championship. Recently, the Gypsies haven't been in the best form in the league. However, they won their last home match in the league against Dundalk (3-2), and in the cup competition, they secured a victory at home against Shelbourne (1-0). It's time for them to win with a more convincing goal difference.

In the last season, UCD Dublin managed to remain in the top division only through the relegation playoffs. This time, it will be extremely difficult, almost impossible, for the team to secure even the second-to-last place in the table. They are currently 14 points behind Cork City. UCD Dublin rarely adds points to their tally. In their last five matches, the team suffered four defeats. In all four cases, their opponents were stronger, with a goal difference of more than one: 1-3 against Drogheda United, 0-4 against Shamrock Rovers and Shelbourne, and 0-7 against St. Patrick's. Most likely, the match against Bohemians will not end well for the league's underdog.
The easiest match to predict in the upcoming round of the Irish championship and one of the easiest of the week. The young favorite will play at home against a clear underdog. A handicap (-1.5) in favor of the hosts at a reasonable coefficient should be an easy win. I wouldn't be surprised even if Bohemians achieve a convincing victory. They are class above the opponent, who has been losing to everyone and is already preparing to return to the second division. UCD Dublin has lost 11 out of 12 away matches in the championship with a goal difference of 6-39. I expect an easy walk for the hosts in this match. Moreover, it's about time the favorite triumphs over this opponent by at least two goals in their head-to-head meetings.
Prediction for the match: Bohemians to win with -1.5 handicap.
