✍️ Match Preview
Pre-Match Analysis
Dundalk and Bohemians meet at Casey's Field in Premier Division, Regular Season - 35. This fixture gets under way on Friday 28 October 2022 at 19:45 UTC.
Current Form
Dundalk's overall Premier Division record this term: 3W 3D 4L from 10 games (1.20 PPG). Last five: L W L W D. They are averaging 1.20 goals per game and conceding 1.50 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation.
Dundalk's home record at Casey's Field: 6W 3D 1L from 10 Premier Division appearances (2.10 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.80 goals scored and 0.70 conceded per game. 6 clean sheets from 10 home games (60%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at Casey's Field. Their home PPG of 2.10 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.20 — Dundalk are significantly better at Casey's Field than their overall form suggests.
Bohemians have collected 1.10 PPG across 10 Premier Division outings this season: 3W 2D 5L. Last five: W W L L D. Their scoring rate of 0.90 per game is modest, conceding 1.20 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation.
When travelling in Premier Division this season, Bohemians have posted 3W 1D 6L from 10 away outings — 1.00 PPG. Away from home they average 1.00 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game.
Neither side holds a meaningful form edge. The 1.20 vs 1.10 PPG split is negligible — model and market signals should carry more analytical weight for this one.
Trading Data
Dundalk goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (70 games, 35 at home): they score before half-time in 80% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 72% of the time; BTTS occurs in 57% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 57% of games (home games).
Bohemians goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (70 games, 35 at away): they score before half-time in 74% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 60% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 63% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 40% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Dundalk 54% versus Bohemians 63%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Dundalk 47% | Bohemians 51%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Dundalk 1.58 xG and Bohemians 1.03 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Dundalk attack 1.176 / defence 0.930 | Bohemians attack 1.001 / defence 0.987. League average goals — home 1.363 / away 1.103. Data: 70 Dundalk games / 70 Bohemians games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Dundalk 49% | Draw 27% | Bohemians 24%. Fair-value odds: Dundalk 2.04 | Draw 3.70 | Bohemians 4.17. Dundalk hold a narrow Poisson edge at 49% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 48% | BTTS probability 52% | Total xG 2.61. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 48%/52% — the total xG of 2.61 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 52% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Dundalk at 49% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 27% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Dundalk if the outright odds are short.
Poisson projects 2.61 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 48% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 52% on Yes. Form rates are neutral: Dundalk 40% | Bohemians 50%.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Dundalk beat Bohemians 2-1 at Casey's Field, Regular Season - 35, in the Premier Division. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Dundalk 1.58 xG and Bohemians 1.03 xG, a combined 2.61. The scoreboard read 2-1 for 3 actual goals. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Dundalk attack 1.18 / defence 0.93 against Bohemians attack 1.00 / defence 0.99, drawn from 70/70 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Dundalk 49% | Draw 27% | Bohemians 24%, with Dundalk to win its most likely call at 49%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.
Goals & Markets
