Full Analysis
Dalymount Park plays host to Bohemians versus Shamrock Rovers in Premier Division, Regular Season - 29. Kick-off: Sunday 1 September 2024 at 11:30 UTC.
Form & Momentum
Bohemians have collected 0.60 PPG across 10 Premier Division outings this season: 0W 6D 4L. Last five: L D D L D. They are averaging 1.10 goals per game and conceding 1.60 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches — an extremely high rate that makes BTTS Yes a well-supported standalone angle from their form alone. This season is still relatively young for Bohemians, so this record blends games from this season and last.
At home at Dalymount Park, Bohemians have gone 2W 3D 5L this season (10 games, 0.90 PPG). At home they are averaging 0.90 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game.
Shamrock Rovers (all games): 4W 2D 4L across 10 Premier Division outings this term — 1.40 points per game. Last five: L W W D D. Their scoring rate of 0.90 per game is modest, conceding 1.00 — 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. This season is still relatively young for Shamrock Rovers, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Shamrock Rovers away from home this season: 4W 2D 4L from 10 away games — 1.40 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 1.20 goals scored and 1.10 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.
The travelling side arrive in better shape. Shamrock Rovers are 0.80 PPG clear of Bohemians in recent Premier Division fixtures (1.40 vs 0.60). Backing the visitors outright or on Draw No Bet are both valid approaches where the price allows.
Head-to-Head
Form and model data should carry more weight here — the historical record is too balanced to provide a directional steer. From 1 meetings: Bohemians 0W, Shamrock Rovers 0W, 1D.
The 1 previous meetings have averaged 2.0 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 3 May 2024, ended 1–1 with a draw.
The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.
Trading
Bohemians half-time and goal-timing data (62 games, 31 at home): they score before half-time in 77% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 78% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 52% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 55% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 52% of games (home games).
Shamrock Rovers half-time and goal-timing data (62 games, 31 at away): they score before half-time in 39% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 77% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 58% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 39% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 32% of games (away games); they keep a clean sheet 45% of the time.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Bohemians 50% versus Shamrock Rovers 47%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Bohemians 45% | Shamrock Rovers 47%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Bohemians 1.00 xG and Shamrock Rovers 1.38 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: Bohemians attack 0.857 / defence 1.351 | Shamrock Rovers attack 1.064 / defence 0.883. League average goals — home 1.322 / away 0.957. Data: 62 Bohemians games / 62 Shamrock Rovers games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Bohemians 26% | Draw 30% | Shamrock Rovers 44%. Fair-value odds: Bohemians 3.85 | Draw 3.33 | Shamrock Rovers 2.27. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 30% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 42% | BTTS probability 49% | Total xG 2.38. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 58% — total xG of 2.38 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 49% 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 Shamrock Rovers at 44% — marginal model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 30% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Shamrock Rovers if the outright odds are short.
The Poisson model projects 2.38 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 42% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.
Poisson assigns a 49% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral: Bohemians 50% | Shamrock Rovers 60%.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Bohemians beat Shamrock Rovers 2-1 at Dalymount Park, Regular Season - 29, in the Premier Division. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Bohemians 1.00 xG and Shamrock Rovers 1.38 xG, a combined 2.38. The scoreboard read 2-1 for 3 actual goals. Bohemians beat their projection by 1.0 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Bohemians attack 0.86 / defence 1.35 against Shamrock Rovers attack 1.06 / defence 0.88, drawn from 62/62 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Bohemians 26% | Draw 30% | Shamrock Rovers 44%, with Shamrock Rovers to win its most likely call at 44%. The actual Bohemians win had been the model's second-ranked read at 26%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 42%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 70% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 49% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 46% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Bohemians 45%, Shamrock Rovers 47%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 48%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Bohemians's trading profile (62 games, 31 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did.
Shamrock Rovers's trading profile (62 games, 31 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 47% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 45% of the time, and conceded here.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Bohemians 1.40 PPG, Shamrock Rovers 1.79 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Bohemians win broke the near-deadlock. Shamrock Rovers (home/away splits) shipped 2 against a 0.71 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
