Bohemians
- Bohemian have failed to win any of their last five Premier Division 2026 games, drawing two and losing three.
- Bohemians currently sit fourth in the table with 20 points from 13 games, while Shelbourne are 8th with 13 points from 12 matches ahead of Monday’s matchup.
- Bohemians boss Alan Reynolds has set up his side to be a tough team to beat this season, prioritising compactness and a hard-working midfield over possession dominance.
- This allows Bohs to defend in a disciplined structure and hit opponents with pace and swift transitions when transitioning to attack.
Shelbourne
- Shelbourne have won one and lost four of their last five Premier Division 2026 matches, losing their last four on the bounce.
- Shelbourne boss Joey O’Brien has constructed a team to control games, instead opting to dominate in the midfield and press together in waves, trading compactness for territory dominance.
- Their recent domestic form has taken a nosedive, but their away form is a little more encouraging, with one win and one defeat from their last two.
Head-to-Head
- The last time these teams met in the Premier Division 2026 six weeks ago was a cagey 0-0 draw at Tolka Park.
- Bohemian FC Dublin have won two, drawn three and lost one of their six home league matches this term, scoring 1.17 goals per game and conceding 1.00 goals.
Key Players
- Harry Wood has been Shelbourne’s main man this year, scoring six goals in 12 league games and is their most likely man to score on Monday.
- Colm Whelan tops the scoring charts for Bohemian FC Dublin with six goals in 13 Premier Division 2026 appearances and has scored half of his team’s goals across their last four matches.
