Competition: Irish Premier Division

Market: Bohemians win

Odds: 3/5 @ BetUS

Looking to extend on their sensational start to proceedings, Bohemains will welcome Galway to Dalymount Park on Friday night.

Starting with the hosts, while Bohemians might have been left frustrated last season as they eventually fell short in the race to claim a bronze medal finish among Ireland’s elite, Alan Reynolds’ men certainly haven’t shown any signs of a hangover this time around. Flying out of the traps since opening up the 2026 campaign, the mood around Dalymount Park will certainly be at a red-hot high. Rightfully receiving a string of plaudits and looking to make another statement here, Reynolds’ side have registered 13 points from their first five Premier Division appearances. Signing off February with an action-packed 3-2 victory against reigning Irish champions Shamrock Rovers, it should also be noted that Bohemains have won all of their last four consecutive top-flight matchups by an aggregate score of 9-2. Likewise, smelling a real opportunity this weekend, the former Dundalk coach has also seen his high-flying squad come away unscathed in four of their first five outings.

As for the visitors, at the heart of a relegation scrap last season and only just dragging themselves over the finishing line as they clung to their top-flight status, Galway are simply hoping for smother sailing this time around. However, getting the 2026 campaign underway with a downbeat 1-0 loss at home against Drogheda on February 6th, John Caulfield’s camp appear destined to once again be scrapping it out at the foot of the table this year. Mustering just a single victory from any of their first five Premier Division appearances, the Maroon Army will be more than aware that they face another real challenge when they travel to Dalymount Park on Friday night. Pencilled in as a major underdog contender this weekend, Galway have also gained quite the reputation for their glaring issues on the road. In fact, Caulfield’s camp have remarkably registered just a sole Premier Division victories over the past 11 months.
