Bohemians take on the visitors Dundalk in the round 25 match of Irish Premier League. The match will be played on Friday, July 26th at Dalymount Park (Dublin).
Bohemian are a respected club by local standards, with 11 league titles to their name, though the last one was claimed back in 2009, nearly a decade and a half ago. Currently, the club from the capital is seen as a mid-table team, as evidenced by their 6th place finish out of 10 in the 2023 league standings. There was a chance to at least replicate that result this season, but a fairly strong start was followed by a prolonged slump. Since late April, they have secured just one win, against Sligo Rovers. This summer, they've recorded two losses and two draws in the league. However, they did manage a 1-0 home victory over Shamrock Rovers in the cup last week.

Dundalk slips into a relegation battle. The "Lilywhites" have made a mark in Irish football history by reaching the Europa League group stage twice, in 2016 and 2020, while most teams from the country are eliminated in the early qualification rounds. Their last league title came in 2017, and they secured their most recent major trophy two seasons later. Once the leading club, Dundalk has since slipped to mid-table status, finishing 5th in last season's Premiership. Now, they are fighting to avoid slipping further down the table. Their recent win over the only team below them, Drogheda United, was crucial in this regard. However, just a week later, they lost to the same team in the Irish Cup, with a 1-2 away defeat.
In the last four meetings, the home team has consistently won. The "Gypsies" are the obvious favorites, primarily because they are playing at home. However, they haven't been significantly more convincing than the visitors. Therefore, the prediction is for both teams to score in this match.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
