Rep. of Ireland - Airtricity League
Prediction :
Bohemians Dublin wins the match
Matchday 20 in the League of Ireland Premier Division kicks off with Waterford playing host to Bohemians on Friday afternoon. The Blues are in eighth place while the Bohs are second after 19 matches. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Waterford made an underwhelming start over the first half of the season and suffered their 10th defeat of the campaign last week, 1-0 on the road against Sligo.
That result extended The Blue's winless run in the top flight to four matches (W0D2 L2), while they conceded two or more goals in three of those games.
At home, though, the hosts have taken seven points from the last 12 on offer, which is a notable upturn after losing three in a row in their three preceding matches at Waterford Regional Sports Centre.
Meanwhile, after ending each of the last three seasons in the bottom half of the league standings, Bohemians are enjoying a much better campaign in 2025. They trail Shamrock Rovers by nine points but have two games in hand.
The Bohs enter this match off the back of a 2-0 victory over Cork, which was their fifth win in six and fourth clean sheet in five games.
The visitors have also racked up four wins in their last five on the road and scored two or more goals in three of those outings.

Our Waterford United vs Bohemians Dublin Prediction
While Waterford pulled off an against-the-odds victory when these sides met in early May, they have experienced a notable dip in form since then, currently winless in their last four matches, while conceding two or more goals in three of those games.
Bohemians, on the other hand, produced another solid defensive display in their last match, beating Cork 2-0, marking their fourth clean sheet in their last five top-flight matches. The visitors have won four of their last five on the road, and we fancy them to take all three points from this one as well. Our Waterford vs Bohemians prediction is Bohemians wins the match.
