The Ireland Premier Division continues this weekend and the one game on Friday that takes place sees Sligo Rovers travel to Bohemians. The home team have been playing well recently, picking up a victory and a very good draw in their last two games. That should give them enough to win this game, with their opponents Sligo struggling to put together any kind of good run in recent weeks and looking like potential relegation candidates.

Sligo have lost their last two games coming into this one, and while one was against high flying Waterford, last week they were beaten by Bray Wanderers, who are currently bottom of the league. Sligo only have a two point cushion ahead of possible relegation from the Premier League, so every point is vital to them at this stage. That last game was one they should have won but didn’t, and this test is going to be an even tougher one for them and one that I think they are going to struggle with based on what we have seen from them over the past couple of weeks.

Bohemians are down near the bottom of the table too, and they are just two points ahead of Sligo going into this game. However, recent form has shown that there is a difference between the two. A win against St Patrick’s Athletic two weeks ago was followed up by an even better result when Bohemians picked up a point against Waterford last weekend, and a repeat of any of those two performances will be enough to win this game on Friday night.

With home advantage in their favour, Bohemians are going to be very difficult to beat on Friday night, and they look the most likely to be able to pick up the win. The points on offer are vital, and it is going to take character to win this, hopefully something that Bohemians can show, they should be in a confident mood after their recent positive results.

Bohemians vs Sligo Rovers Betting Tips

Both of these teams are hovering above the relegation playoff position that is currently held by Limerick. A couple of bad results and they could be in trouble, which two wins would pull them clear, that is how difficult and tight it is right now at the bottom of the Irish Premier League. Both teams will know the importance of this game going into it, and that may make for quite a close and tight affair, with neither team wanting to make the mistake that costs them a goal.

Despite the possibilities of this being a tight game, I think Bohemians have the talent and recent form to nick a goal from somewhere, and while there may not be many goals in the game, Bohemians are the pick to win. It may not be pretty becaue there is a lot at stake for both clubs, but I’m backing Bohemians for victory in this key Irish Premier Division game on Friday.
