Bohemians vs Galway United

, KO: 19:45 , Dalymount Park
Galway United

Bohemians have lost a bit of ground in the League of Ireland title race and can ill afford another stumble when struggling Galway United come calling.

Alan Reynolds' men looked to have made a statement of intent last month when they beat leaders Shamrock Rovers 2-0 but have since dropped points in draws with Sligo Rovers and St Patrick's Athletic.

That stalemate at home to Sligo ruined one of our Super Singles and it was a big surprise given Bohemians had won six of their last seven games at home.

The title chasers then drew a blank on the road at St Pat's and now find themselves trailing Shamrock Rovers by double digits, although they do have games in hand.

With just 13 fixtures to go they need to go on a winning run and should see off a Galway United side stuck at the wrong end of the table.

John Caulfield's men lost 1-0 in Drogheda last time out and that made it just one win in six games for Galway.

Having started the campaign by going seven games without defeat, United could now be in danger of getting dragged into a relegation battle if their form doesn't pick up soon.

How the bookies view it: Bohemians to bounce back

Despite their recent wobble, Bohemians are still heavy favourites for this one at 8/13 with BoyleSports. Galway United are 7/2 outsiders and the draw pays 14/5.

Recent head to head: Home is where the hurt is

Home advantage has been a hindrance rather than a help in this fixture of late, with the hosts failing to come out on top in the last nine meetings since Galway's 2-0 triumph in 2016.

Both meetings this term have ended in away wins, with Galway winning 2-0 in Dublin then Bohemians getting their revenge with a 2-1 triumph on the road.

Players to watch: Clarke appeals at 11/4

Midfielder James Clarke has been in decent scoring form of late, netting in two of his last three appearances. The 24-year-old is 11/4 at Bet365 for anytime scorer which seems good value.

Galway's top scorer Moses Dyer is still suspended after a red card against Sligo and he's a big miss. Ed McCarthy led the line last time out and he's 11/2 at Bet365 to grab just his second goal of the season.

Probable line-ups

Bohemians are without former Bournemouth and Sheffield United striker Lys Mousset after he was released last week. Alex Lacey and Archie Meekison are also set to miss out with injury again.

In addition to the suspended Dyer, Galway United are set to be without the injured Jimmy Keohane.

Bohemians: Chorazka, Smith, Morahan, Cornwall, Flores, Rooney, Devoy, Clarke, McDonnell, Tierney, James-Taylor.

Galway United: Watts, Slevin, Cunningham, Buckley, Piesold, Borden, Burns, Esua, Walsh, Shaw, McCarthy.

Anything else catch the eye?

Galway United have struggled without main man Dyer and would have drawn two successive blanks had sub Bobby Burns not scored late on against Shelbourne.

Bohemians have kept clean sheets in two of their last three games so try backing a home win to nil in this one, which pays 7/4 at BoyleSports.

The goals have dried up a bit for Bohemians too, with only one of their last eight matches seeing over 2.5 goals. That makes betting on under 2.5 strikes appealing for this one at 20/23 with BoyleSports.

We've seen heaps of corners in the last two meetings, with an average of 15, so I like the evens on offer at Bet365 for over 10 flag kicks in this one.
