Bohemians
- Bohemians have won 4 and drawn 1 of their last 5 games in all competitions, winning their last two home matches to nil.
- Alan Reynolds has been at the helm since 26th March 2024 and he has instilled a real control mindset in his players, with a flexible side who can set up in a 3-4-2-1 or 4-2-3-1 formation, using their midfield numbers to overload in possession and always looking to build from the back.
-
Their control style has been rewarded with their three most recent results:
- 2-0 away win over Drogheda United in the Premier Division 2026
- 2-0 home win over St. Josephs FC in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026
- 0-0 away draw with the same Welsh outfit
Ballkani
- Ballkani have won 1, drawn 1 and lost 3 of their last 5 fixtures in all competitions, conceding 1.75 goals per away game on average.
- Mislav Karoglan has been at the club since 25th November 2025 and he sets his sides up in a compact style, with a lot of players behind the ball in a narrow 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3, looking to make use of their fast forwards on the break.
- His team has seen better days however, and their form on the road isn't great, having failed to win in their last 2, conceding 1.75 goals on average across their last 4 competitive away matches.
Bohemians
Connor Parsons is the star spark in these Bohs sides, having hit 1 goal in 2 fixtures in this qualification campaign.
