Team Preview, Form, and Standout Players

After a tough season in 2024, finishing 8th, Bohemians have bounced back this season, sitting within the title race. In recent weeks, Bohemians have been in decent form, winning three, drawing one, and losing one in their last five games.

Their opponents, Derry City, continue their search for their first Premier Division title since the 1996/97 season. Sat in 3rd place, the last time out was a disappointing 2-1 loss against Shamrock Rovers.

Michael Duffy will be one to watch in this fixture, the Northern Irishman having scored six goals and assisted two in 17 Premier Division appearances. Duffy faces Bohemians in mediocre form, having assisted once in his last three games.

Bohemians Preview

Bohemians Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Chorazka, Grehanm Cornwall, Flores, Rooney, McDonnell, Devoy, Morahan, Clarke, Tierney, Whelan.

Bohemians come into this fixture with a duo of absentees as Alex Lacey is out with a hamstring injury while the game is also suspected to come too fast for Kian Best – the defender having returned to training from an Achilles injury.

Derry City Preview

Derry City Predicted Lineup (5-3-2): Maher, Ferguson, Cann, Connolly, Holt, Todd, O’Reilly, Winchester, Duffy, Whyte, Boyce.

Unlike their opponents, Derry City look set to boast a full squad to face Bohemians as they do not have any current injuries.
