Bohemians and Derry City will face off at Dalymount Park in the Irish Premier Division on Friday evening. The last four games between these sides produced 15 goals, and our prediction is that both teams will get on the scoresheet in this one as well.
Bohemians enter this match off the back of booking their spot in the quarter-final of the 2026 FAI Cup with a commanding 4-0 victory over Longford Town at home on Sunday afternoon.
However, the Gypsies were knocked out of the UEFA Conference League qualifiers last week 5-2 on aggregate by Midtjylland, and they are winless in their last two league games (D1 L1).
The hosts have been very disappointing at home this term, managing just 18 points from their 13 matches here. They were held to a 1-1 draw in this exact fixture last season.
Meanwhile, after falling just three points short of the title last season, Derry City have experienced a drop-off this term, currently 21 points behind league leaders Shamrock Rovers after 27 games.
The Candystripes bowed out of the UECL qualifiers last month, but since then they are unbeaten in their last three matches, including a 2-1 victory over UC Dublin in the FAI Cup last week.
The visitors have been poor on the road this season, now winless in their last six outings, while having still only won a single away game to date.

Our Bohemians Dublin vs Derry City Prediction
Bohemians are having a solid season, currently in third place, but notably, they have done their best work on the road, with only 18 of their 44 points to date coming in home league matches.
Derry City, on the other hand, are having a very poor season, and a major contributor to their downfall has been their away record. We’re steering clear of the 1x2 market here, but feel that both teams will get on the scoresheet. Our Bohemians vs Derry City prediction is BTTS.
