Not wanting to lose step behind the current League of Ireland Division Premier leader, Capital of Derry will be looking for the maximum three points on Friday at their Brandywell Stadium when they host Bohemians.

After the completed 20 rounds of the top flight of Ireland, Capital of Derry is currently sitting in a high second position in the table with 35 points on its account, which is four less than Shamrock Rovers, which is in the leading position. Meanwhile, Bohemians are also belonging to the group of teams fighting for the trophy intended for the best club in the country, as they are six points behind the leader with a match in hand.

Capital of Derry vs Bohemians Betting Tips: Under 2.5

The fight between these two rivals will take place on Friday for the third time in the 22 — 23 campaign. We don’t anticipate anything important to change in that respect this time either. It is typical of the first two clashes that the winner was decided by just one goal, and both sides just managed modest victories as visitors.

If we look at the bigger picture of the recent head-to-head meetings between Capital of Derry and Bohemians we can see that the “goal-scoring drought” was a frequent occurrence. Namely, one goal was decisive and enough in three consecutive clashes, while the limit of 2.5 goals was not broken in four of the previous five.

Then, The Candystripes don’t start the fight against the Bohemians in the best feeling because they’ve been playing poorly and with a lot of hesitancy lately, which is why they gave Shamrock the lead after just picking up one point out of feasible nine. If they want to keep up with the head, they must immediately get back on track.

In order for Capital of Derry to continue breathing down the neck of the leading Shamrock, they will first have to regain their goal-scoring form, since the realization lacked in two of the previous three Division Premier games. However, we should not forget that, with 16 goals conceded, they boast the second best defensive record.

If it gives the Brandywell Stadium fans any comfort, their second user is also out of shape after only one victory in the previous quarter. In fact, The Bohs lost half of their previous six games as a result of Cork’s 1 — 2 loss on Monday. Additionally, as a result of that, they extended their winless streak to four consecutive games( D2, L2 ).

The Dublin club’s lack of creativity in front of the target is evident from the five targets they scored in the previous six rounds. We anticipate both teams to take a careful stance in the face of the crisis, which is why we anticipate lower scoring. Derry is also known for its unattractive football this year, finishing 8 / 10 at home with less than 2.5 goals. The Bohs, on the other hand, were unable to surpass the mentioned limit in 7 / 9 visits. All of this suggests a near outcome.
