Dundalk host Bohemians in the Republic of Ireland Premier Division. Bohemians have generally looked the more settled side across the season, while Dundalk have had a rockier time of it.
The two clubs have met plenty of times down the years, and their most recent meetings have tilted one way rather than being split evenly. Whether that pattern holds again is the part worth digging into.

Dundalk's equivalent run shows 7 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses, with 36 scored and 35 conceded. That's a shakier record, and the goals conceded total stands out given how often they've needed to chase games.
Bohemians have been the more reliable side over their last 20 fixtures, even accounting for the mixed competitions.

Going further back, the head-to-head has been fairly competitive over the years, so it's really the last few meetings that stand out rather than a long-term dominance.
Bohemians have had the better of Dundalk in their three most recent meetings.
Where they sit in the table
Bohemians are third with 56 points from 31 games, while Dundalk sit fifth on 41 points from 32. That's a 15-point gap with Dundalk having played a game more, which tells its own story about the campaigns so far.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Shamrock Rovers | 31 | 17 | 8 | 6 | 49/31 | 59 |
| 3 | Bohemians | 31 | 16 | 8 | 7 | 55/37 | 56 |

| 6 | Shelbourne | 32 | 9 | 13 | 10 | 42/45 | 40 |
Bohemians' goal difference is also healthier: 55 scored against 37 conceded, compared to Dundalk's 49 for and 53 against. Dundalk have been leaking goals at a rate that puts real pressure on their attack to keep up.
Bohemians go into this from a stronger league position on both points and goal difference.

Key attacking threats
Bohemians' C. Whelan leads the scoring charts with 12 goals in 31 games, and he's also chipped in 6 assists, making him central to how they create and finish chances. R. Tierney adds another 9 goals from the same squad.
For Dundalk, D. Horgan has been their standout contributor with 10 goals and 10 assists in 31 appearances, showing he's involved in most of what they create. G. Arubi has added 7 goals in fewer games, which suggests some depth up front if Horgan is quiet.

Put together, the league standing, the broader form sample and the recent head-to-head all point the same way. None of it guarantees anything on the day, but it's a consistent enough pattern to lean on.
Dundalk's home form hasn't been strong enough recently to make backing them look sensible, and Bohemians' record against this specific opponent adds to the case for taking them to win outright.
