Waterford FC (home)
- Waterford FC haven’t won any of their last 5 matches, drawing 3 and losing 2.
- Waterford FC are still searching for their first Premier Division 2026 win under manager Jon Daly, but they do remain unbeaten at home, having drawn both home fixtures so far this season.
- Waterford FC’s high-tempo, direct style of play and relentless pressing has been a revelation so far in the top-flight, with Daly’s team matching the pace of the top teams when they come to visit.
Bohemian FC Dublin (away)
- Bohemian FC Dublin have won 4 of their last 5, losing none.
- Bohemian FC Dublin have won all of their away games, scoring 5 times.
- Bohs are top of the Premier Division 2026 table after collecting 10 points from their opening 4 games, while Waterford are in 9th place with just 2 points collected so far.
- Alan Reynolds has built a team that can play a structured, vertical style of soccer, maintaining possession while pressing at the right moments.
- The visitors play an aggressive, high-pressing style, but unlike their hosts, have some control and organisation in their structure, which makes them a strong team on their day.

- Waterford FC have won twice in the last 5 head-to-head clashes, while Bohemian FC Dublin have won twice and drawn once.
- The visitors were 2-1 winners in the most recent fixture.
Key Players

- Up front, he can be complemented well by Tom Lonergan, who has scored 2 goals in 4 Premier Division 2026 games, and midfield creative spark Conan Noonan, who has 1 assist.

Prediction
- I’m backing Bohemian FC Dublin to repeat their recent win this week.
- That seems likely, given that both teams like to press and play high-tempo, but I think Waterford could get shut out against a more organised, more experienced team.
