Fixture Analysis
It is a Premier Division clash, Regular Season - 9 as Bohemians welcome Waterford to Dalymount Park. Kick-off is set for Friday 5 April 2024 at 19:45 UTC.
Recent Form
Across all Premier Division games this season, Bohemians have gone 3W 4D 3L from 10 outings — a 1.30 PPG return. Last five: W W L L W. They are averaging 1.20 goals per game and conceding 1.20 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation.
Bohemians's home record at Dalymount Park: 6W 3D 1L from 10 Premier Division appearances (2.10 PPG). They are averaging 2.30 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture. Their home PPG of 2.10 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.30 — Bohemians are significantly better at Dalymount Park than their overall form suggests.
Looking at all fixtures this season, Waterford stand at 1W 0D 1L from 2 Premier Division matches — 1.50 PPG. Last five: L W. Their scoring rate of 1.00 per game is modest, conceding 1.00 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Waterford have played only a handful of Premier Division games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
The form comparison is too close to call — 1.30 PPG (Bohemians) versus 1.50 (Waterford). When the figures are this level, no pick can be reliably derived from recent results alone.
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Bohemians 1.73 xG and Waterford 1.08 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 1.183 / defence 1.127 | Waterford attack 0.907 / defence 1.292. League average goals — home 1.130 / away 1.060. Waterford bring a strong defensive rating of 1.292 — this is suppressing Bohemians's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 43 Bohemians games / 8 Waterford games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Bohemians 52% | Draw 25% | Waterford 23%. Fair-value odds: Bohemians 1.92 | Draw 4.00 | Waterford 4.35. Bohemians hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 53% | BTTS probability 55% | Total xG 2.81. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 53%/47% — the total xG of 2.81 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 55% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Summary & Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Bohemians at 52% — moderate model lean. With a 25% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Bohemians offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
The Poisson model projects 2.81 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 53% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 2.8 goals per game.

Model Mechanics
The model rates Bohemians's attack at 1.18x the league average against Waterford's defence at 1.29x — combine the two and it projects 1.73 expected goals for the hosts. The same calculation in reverse, Waterford's attack versus Bohemians's defence, projects 1.08 expected goals for the visitors.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Waterford beat Bohemians 0-1 at Dalymount Park, Regular Season - 9, 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 1.73 xG and Waterford 1.08 xG, a combined 2.81. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Bohemians fell 1.7 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Bohemians attack 1.18 / defence 1.13 against Waterford attack 0.91 / defence 1.29, drawn from 43/8 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Bohemians 52% | Draw 25% | Waterford 23%, with Bohemians to win its most likely call at 52%. Instead the game produced a Waterford win, an outcome the model had rated at just 23% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 53%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 78% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 55% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 50% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Bohemians 50%, Waterford 50%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 25%, which matched the one-sided outcome.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Bohemians 1.50 PPG, Waterford 1.50 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Waterford win broke the near-deadlock. Bohemians managed 0 against a 2.00 scoring average — below par going forward. Waterford conceded 0 against a 1.00 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). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
