To a very strange Irish Premiership we go for this one and the confrontation between the 3rd and the 9th teams of the table. Since it is still just the 7th round of the tournament, everything is volatile and just a few outcomes may change everything. Quite indicative of what’s going on is that the champions Shelbourne are just 4th while the traditional power of Shamrock Rovers are down to 6th. Even stranger is the fact that the league leaders are Drogheda United. Nevertheless, it’s still a tight race and everyone is still involved.
Only 2 wins each
And yet such a difference on the table. That’s because the visitors have yet to lose a match counting 4 draws, while the hosts have lost 4 out of the last five. Goals are 5-7 and 8-6 for the home side and the visitors respectively. However, there is a much more interesting fact to discuss. Five out of the six match that have been played at Dalymount Park have ended with the same result: a 1-1 draw. The last win for the hosts dates back to 2015.
Hence, it should not come as a surprise that, at this time, the offer for the win of Bohemian is @2.59, while the relevant price for Galway is @2.55. Astonishingly, the draw gets a massive @3.30, even though it does seem as a very likely result. In fact, it would not be an understatement to say that the odds of @5.90 for a 1-1 correct score, is quite a good offer!
Clean run until March 28
Meaning that neither side have matches to play in the meantime. They can both prepare for the match unhindered. Barring a training mishap, there’s very little that can change to such a degree that the outcome can be affected. Motivewise, it’s the visitors that can overtake 2nd place St. Patrick’s and remain close to the top. For the hosts, it’s a chance to get away from the bottom of the table.
Update
It would seem that the odds defining teams went to work and reconsidered the circumstances of this match. Now the @2.59 for the hosts became @2.27, while the @2.55 for the visitors climbed to a rather unreasonable @3.26. A draw remains at the same levels (@3.30 to @3.25). The correct score of 1-1 still gets @5.90. After browsing through, we cannot see any other markets with offers enticing enough to place a wager with.
A safe or a risky choice
The conservative route to follow here is the @2.27 for Bohemians Dublin. It a quite likely result that they will win this one. Furthermore, looking at it objectively, it does allow for a good payout. However, sometimes you have to go with your but. We saw on the analysis that the last 4 matches ended in 1-1. So, either betting on a draw, or a correct score, will produce higher rewards. Especially the last option. The question is if we are going to stick our necks out that much.
There have been no changes that could affect the outcome. Even the weather prediction is still the same. Nothing to give us even the slightest of hints on where to aim. So, we will trust our instinct and propose a bet on a draw. We do not see any scenario that the visitors win.
