Match Analysis
Bohemians host St Patrick's Athl. at Dalymount Park in Premier Division, Regular Season - 34. Kick-off is scheduled for Friday 20 October 2023 at 19:45 UTC.
Recent Form
Across all Premier Division games this season, Bohemians have gone 4W 5D 1L from 10 outings — a 1.70 PPG return. Last five: L D D W W. Offensively they are averaging 1.50 goals per game, with 1.10 conceded. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.
Bohemians's form when playing at home: 5W 4D 1L across 10 games at Dalymount Park this term (1.90 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.90 goals scored and 1.10 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.
St Patrick's Athl. — All Games: 5W 3D 2L from 10 Premier Division fixtures this season — 1.80 PPG. Last five: W L W L W. They are scoring at 1.80 per game and conceding 0.70. Defensively, 0.70 goals conceded per game is elite-level — a side this difficult to score against is a real threat to Over 2.5 and BTTS Yes. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not.
St Patrick's Athl. away from home this season: 6W 1D 3L from 10 away games — 1.90 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 1.60 goals scored and 1.10 conceded per game. 4 clean sheets from 10 away games (40%) shows they are capable of shutting up shop on the road. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.
There is minimal separation in the form figures — Bohemians at 1.70 PPG versus St Patrick's Athl.'s 1.80. The form guide is not providing a strong directional steer; the model and market data will carry more weight in the final assessment.
The BTTS market is worth targeting here. Bohemians register both teams scoring in 60% of relevant matches, St Patrick's Athl. in 60% (using home/away splits) — both sides above the 60% threshold gives BTTS Yes firm statistical grounding.
Trading Patterns
Bohemians in-play and half-time data (68 games, 33 at home): they score before half-time in 70% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 85% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 54% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 61% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 58% of games (home games).
St Patrick's Athl. in-play and half-time data (68 games, 33 at away): they score before half-time in 70% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 86% of the time; BTTS occurs in 58% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 58% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Bohemians 56% versus St Patrick's Athl. 48%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Bohemians 47% | St Patrick's Athl. 56%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Bohemians 1.71 xG and St Patrick's Athl. 1.29 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 1.254 / defence 1.116 | St Patrick's Athl. attack 1.180 / defence 0.885. League average goals — home 1.536 / away 0.979. Bohemians carry an above-average attack strength of 1.254 — their λ of 1.71 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Data: 69 Bohemians games / 68 St Patrick's Athl. games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Bohemians 47% | Draw 24% | St Patrick's Athl. 29%. Fair-value odds: Bohemians 2.13 | Draw 4.17 | St Patrick's Athl. 3.45. Bohemians hold a narrow Poisson edge at 47% — the draw (24%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 58% | BTTS probability 60% | Total xG 2.99. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 58% — the 2.99 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 60% reflects that both xG figures (1.71 / 1.29) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates Bohemians as the most likely outcome at 47% — moderate model lean. With a 24% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Bohemians offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 29% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
The Poisson model projects 2.99 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 58% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 2.9 goals per game.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 60% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Bohemians 60% | St Patrick's Athl. 60% BTTS from recent games.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
St Patrick's Athl. beat Bohemians 0-2 at Dalymount Park, Regular Season - 34, 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 Bohemians 1.71 xG and St Patrick's Athl. 1.29 xG, a combined 2.99. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. Bohemians fell 1.7 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Bohemians attack 1.25 / defence 1.12 against St Patrick's Athl. attack 1.18 / defence 0.89, drawn from 69/68 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Bohemians 47% | Draw 24% | St Patrick's Athl. 29%, with Bohemians to win its most likely call at 47%. The actual St Patrick's Athl. win had been the model's second-ranked read at 29%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 58%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 80% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 60% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 52% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Bohemians 47%, St Patrick's Athl. 56%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 52%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Bohemians's trading profile (68 games, 33 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did not.
St Patrick's Athl.'s trading profile (68 games, 33 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 48% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 35% of the time, and duly kept one.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Bohemians 1.47 PPG, St Patrick's Athl. 1.72 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the St Patrick's Athl. win broke the near-deadlock. Bohemians (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.70 scoring average — below par going forward. St Patrick's Athl. (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.39 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
