Home - Shelbourne FC
- Bohemian FC Dublin currently lead the way in the Premier Division 2026 with 13 points from five games whilst Shelbourne FC sit sixth, on six points from the same five matches.
- The hosts will not find it easy, however, having a mixed run of one win, three draws and a defeat from their last five in the league, failing to win any of their three previous home games in the Premier Division 2026 (D2, L1).
- Shelbourne FC have a very different style to Bohemians and are much more of a proactive side.
- Their pace, tempo and high pressing make them hard to play against, and their ability to morph into different shapes makes them dangerous in transition or when in possession.
Away - Bohemian FC Dublin
- Bohemian FC Dublin have won four consecutive games, going unbeaten in their last five (W4, D1).
- Alan Reynolds has done a superb job since March 2024, and his rigid, physical style of play has really suited this team.
- They sit deep, keep their defensive shape, and can be lethal on the break with their pacey wingers and powerful striker.
Head-to-Head
Shelbourne’s unbeaten run in the last two meetings (W1, D1) .
Key Players
Harry Wood is the talisman for Shelbourne, with five Premier Division 2026 goals from five appearances , while Colm Whelan leads the line for Bohemians, scoring four in his five appearances .
Betting Insights
- Shelbourne FC are 2.72 favorites to beat Bohemians, who are 3.0 at the time of writing, with the draw priced at 2.7.
- With the bookmakers offering just 1.65 on Under 2.5 goals, the expectation is that this will be a cagey affair, and with both teams being defensively sound, the expectation here is that this is likely to be true.
Prediction
We fancy the form team to continue their run and nick a win here, but with Shelbourne’s unbeaten run in the last two meetings (W1, D1) and Bohemian FC Dublin’s inability to win either of their previous two away games against the Red and White Army, we’re going to take Bohemians to edge this one in a close game.
