Waterford FC vs Bohemian FC Prediction: A temporary lead at the top of the league table for Waterford

Waterford and Bohemian will clash in the fourth round of the League of Ireland Premiership on Friday. Waterford started the season on a good note with a victory against Sligo Rovers, while Bohemian has lost three consecutive league games in their last three league games. Waterford is currently at the op of the league table, and they’ll want to remain there even if it's for a short period. My prediction for this game is a win or draw for Waterford. Let’s analyze both teams’ forms, their key stats, and my expert opinion. 

Waterford FC (1st)

Form in the league: WWLW

Waterford have now secured two consecutive league wins in their last two league games with only a defeat in the 4 league games played. Waterford defeated Cork City in their most recent league game with a 2-1 victory. They’ll now be aiming for a third consecutive league victory as they take on Bohemian on Friday. Waterford is currently top placed in the league with 3 wins and a loss from 4 games played. 

Bohemian FC (7th)

Form in the League: LLLW

Bohemian is one of the few that managed to secure a positive outcome on match day one, alongside Waterford and Shelbourne. However, they’ve gone on to lose all three league games played after that first-day victory. Bohemian lost 1-0 to Derry City in their second league game, a 2-1 defeat to Cork City, and lastly, a 0-1 defeat to Drogheda United in their league game. They are currently 7th placed in the league with a win and three losses from the 4 games played. 

Head-To-Head-Statistics

A critical look at their last 10 encounters produced 3 wins for Bohemian, 5 wins for Waterford, and 2 draws. 

Expert Betting Tips

Waterford will be hoping to keep their position at the top of the league table on Friday, while Bohemian is not in their best of form with three consecutive league defeats in their last three league games. I think Waterford will not lose as they are playing in their home ground, and they are also in a better form when compared to Bohemian. On the match result, it’s a win or draw and a total of over 1.5 goals for Waterford.

• More than 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 7 meetings
