The first Saturday of the new Irish Premier Division brings us just one match as Sligo Rovers prepare to take on Bohemians. It should be an entertaining contest between two teams who finished last season close together in the table. Sligo managed to finish last season in third place, fending off Derry City and Bohemians to pinch the league’s final European qualifying spot. For Bohemians they finished in 5th place just five points behind Sligo. Both sides will be looking to try and improve their positions from last year and will be wanting to get their seasons off to the perfect start with a win here.

Match result

Both of these sides finished last season in great form with Sligo taking an impressive ten points from the final fifteen on offer with Bohemians taking nine during the same timeframe. With just five points separating the sides it’s pretty apparent that both sides are evenly matched, which is backed up further by the recent head to head record between the teams. Over the last five games, there has been one draw whilst both sides have won two each. In a season opener where both teams will want to get off to the perfect start, we just wonder if these teams will end up cancelling each other out. The draw is priced at 11/5 and we think that not only represents some decent value, but could be a pretty sensible play.

Under 2.5 goals

Looking back at last seasons table it’s easy to see why both of these teams didn’t finish higher up the table. Goals. Both of these teams finished as the lowest scorers out of all the clubs in last season’s top 5 and if both have any aspirations towards making and sustaining a title push that stat will have to change. The two sides in their four meetings last season saw under 2.5 goals in their last two matches and we think with both teams potentially struggling to take their chances it seems a good bet to back the under 2.5 happening for a third time in a row.

Both teams to score in the second half

The trend between these sides is that they tend to score more goals in the second half and to back it happening again you can get a pretty decent price of 11/4. This bet falls nicely into the narrative of what we think the game could be, a game that starts slow before bursting into life in the second half. We like the look of this bet and think it’s worth the shot at the prices.
