• Competition: Premier Division
• Date: Friday, 12th July, 2024
• Kickoff: 19:45 UTC +1 / 20:45 CEST
• Venue: Dalymount Park (Dublin)

Bohemian FC are one of the greatest clubs in the Republic of Ireland. However, they have been without a title since the 2009 season, and that will definitely not change this year. In fact, they are very close to the danger zone. Right now, they are in 8th place (out of ten) with 26 points, seven points away from relegation playout, although with two games fewer than most of the teams. Their form is a massive reason for concern, but we believe they are much better than the standings represent, and it is only a matter of time before they start winning games and escape the lower part of the league's table.

In recent seasons, Sligo Rovers have mostly been a mid-table team, but the last one was a disaster as they came close to the relegation zone, escaping it by six points. This season, Sligo Rovers are looking better and are fairly close to the European spots. They are in 6th place with 31 points. Depending on the Cup results, they could secure Europe from the 4th place, which is only three points away.

Bohemian FC vs Sligo Rovers pick: Both teams to score

Although Bohemian FC is in terrible form, having failed to win in the last five matches, they are scoring pretty regularly. So, we believe they can score at home against Sligo Rovers, who had problems away from home. Additionally, in five recent Bohemians games, both teams scored on four occasions.

Sligo Rovers won back-to-back games since the Summer break while scoring four goals. They have generally scored a lot in recent matches and have done so at least once in six of the last seven games. Defensively, Sligo Rovers haven't been great, especially away from home, where they had only three clean sheets in 11 games. Only Dundalk and Drogheda are worse than Sligo in that department in the Premier Division.

In the previous h2h game, Bohemian FC won 3:0 in a match where Sligo Rovers had many chances to score. Additionally, three h2h games before the last one ended with both teams scoring. Considering the previous h2h games and all the above, both teams to score bet should be the safest option for the upcoming game.
