Derry City vs Bohemians prediction and betting tips on October 11, 2024
Game Prediction
The upcoming match in the League of Ireland Premier Division will feature Derry City and Bohemians. The match will take place at the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium in Derry.
Derry City
Derry City finished second in the Ireland Premier Division last season, seven points behind Champions Shamrock Rovers. This season, they are aiming for the impossible, and that is to finish at the top of the table for the first time since 2010. After 31 games, they sit in third place, four points behind the top spot, and have two games at hand.
The league and cup double is still attainable for the Red and White Army after they dispatched Bohemians 2-0 in the FAI Cup semi-final. However, it has to be said that the win couldn't come at a better time as they were on a three-game winless run in the league (L2, D1), including a 2-1 away defeat at the hands of Drogheda United.
Bohemians
On the opposing end are the Bohemians, who will be seeking to exact revenge for their elimination from the FAI Cup at the hands of Derry City on Friday. It has been an underwhelming season for the Dublin-based team, who currently sit in 8th place after 31 games and are 11 points behind their sixth-place finish from the previous season.
Bohs defeated struggling side Dundalk 2-0 in their last league match. This win halted a two-match losing streak, not to mention they had failed to win their last three games. With hopes of stretching their winning run to two games, their away form has been cause for concern, winning just one of their last seven matches (D4, L2).
