Mark your calendars for 20 June 2025 when Waterford FC welcome Bohemians to the RSC on a Friday evening. Fans tuning in from Italy, Germany, France and Spain can catch the action live at 20:45 CEST, while viewers in the UK should be ready by 19:45 BST.
This clash between two of Ireland’s Premier Division sides promises plenty of excitement as both teams look to climb the table. Waterford will be aiming to capitalize on home advantage, while Bohemians hope to extend their strong historical record in Dublin encounters.
How are both teams coming into this?
Waterford FC arrive with a dynamic attacking profile, boasting over 2.5 goals in 60% of their last 15 matches. While this suggests an entertaining, open game, they’ve also conceded frequently, making defensive stability a key talking point ahead of kickoff.
Bohemians, one of the most decorated clubs in League of Ireland history with 11 league titles and multiple cup triumphs, will lean on their experience. Although their recent form has been mixed, their ability to grind out results on the road could prove decisive in this fixture.
Our forecast
Given Waterford’s penchant for high-scoring affairs and Bohemians’ resilience, we anticipate a lively contest. Our model favors Over 2.5 goals, with both sides likely to find the net. Expect end-to-end action and few clean sheets.
For a value play, a Both Teams to Score wager also looks appealing, considering each side’s defensive vulnerabilities. A narrow Bohemians victory or a hard-fought draw would not come as a surprise in what should be a competitive match.
