Bohemian FC (home)
- Bohemian FC Dublin have lost their last two home matches, failing to pick up a single point.

St Patrick's Athletic (away)

- Pat's are unbeaten in two and have won their previous two games.
- Pat's overall form across all competitions is five wins, three draws and two losses in their last 10.
Key Players
- Pat's employ a possession-based game, but Pat's are more structured in their approach to the match, pressing high up the field and transitioning the ball quickly, with a view to controlling the pace of the game and disrupting the opposition.
- Bohs, on the other hand, are much more pragmatic in their play, with manager Alan Reynolds, who took over in March 2024, having a variety of formations at his disposal and the freedom to switch between a single striker and two up front, depending on the opponent and his need to get the best out of his creative players.
- Pat's have more of an old school feel to their squad, with club legend Chris Forrester orchestrating the play and linking up with the younger players on the field.
- Harry Vaughan has been the spark in Bohs' play, with three assists in the last five matches and one of the 10 goals his team have scored in their past five games.
- Colm Whelan is the top scorer for Bohs in the Premier Division 2026 with seven goals in 22 matches and leads the attacking line.
Betting Insights
- The odds for the fixture between Bohemians and St Pat's on Friday night are visitors 2.87, hosts 2.43 and draw 3.2.

Prediction
But, given their relative form, Pat's should have the quality to edge a tight Dublin Derby that will no doubt be hotly contested.
