✍️ Match Preview
Pre-Match Analysis
Bohemians and UCD meet at Dalymount Park in Premier Division, Regular Season - 13. This fixture gets under way on Friday 29 April 2022 at 19:45 UTC.
Current Form
Bohemians's overall Premier Division record this term: 3W 5D 2L from 10 games (1.40 PPG). Last five: D D W W D. Offensively they are averaging 1.70 goals per game, with 1.30 conceded. Both teams have scored in 100% of their matches — an extremely high rate that makes BTTS Yes a well-supported standalone angle from their form alone.
At home at Dalymount Park, Bohemians have gone 5W 3D 2L this season (10 games, 1.80 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.70 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 80% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture.
UCD have collected 3.00 PPG across 1 Premier Division outings this season: 1W 0D 0L. Last five: W. Their attacking form is sharp — 2.00 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. Both teams have scored in 100% of their matches this season — one of the stronger BTTS rates in the division, making Yes a well-evidenced play. UCD have played only a handful of Premier Division games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
UCD arrive in superior form — a 1.60 PPG advantage (3.00 vs 1.40) that offsets much of the home-ground benefit. The away side are the form pick, with draw protection the sensible way to manage the home-field uncertainty.
The BTTS picture is exceptionally clear (using overall form) — Bohemians register both teams scoring in 80% of relevant games, UCD in 100%. Both sides above 70% makes BTTS Yes one of the strongest standalone angles in this fixture.
H2H History
The head-to-head record is closely matched — Bohemians lead 0W to 0W over the last 1 encounters, with 1 draws, though neither side has established a commanding advantage.
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 18 Mar 2022, 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.
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Bohemians 2.61 xG and UCD 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 1.132 / defence 1.242 | UCD attack 0.843 / defence 1.863. League average goals — home 1.237 / away 1.232. UCD bring a strong defensive rating of 1.863 — this is suppressing Bohemians's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 48 Bohemians games / 12 UCD games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Bohemians 65% | Draw 18% | UCD 16%. Fair-value odds: Bohemians 1.54 | Draw 5.56 | UCD 6.25. The model has a clear lean to Bohemians (65%) — a 49pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 75% | BTTS probability 68% | Total xG 3.90. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 75% — a total xG of 3.90 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 68% reflects that both xG figures (2.61 / 1.29) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.
Picks & Verdict
On the Poisson output, Bohemians are the pick at 65% — clear model lean. Note a divergence: in-form UCD (3.00 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — consider the strength-adjusted model over surface-level form results. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 18% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
On the goals line, Poisson's 3.90 combined xG gives a 75% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 3.0 goals per game.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Bohemians beat UCD 3-0 at Dalymount Park, Regular Season - 13, 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 2.61 xG and UCD 1.29 xG, a combined 3.90. The scoreboard read 3-0 for 3 actual goals. UCD landed 1.3 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Bohemians attack 1.13 / defence 1.24 against UCD attack 0.84 / defence 1.86, drawn from 48/12 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Bohemians 65% | Draw 18% | UCD 16%, with Bohemians to win its most likely call at 65%. The scoreboard confirmed the model's leading pick.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 75%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 91% and landed. Over 3.5 was 55% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 68% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 50% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Bohemians 0%, UCD 100%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 100%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
Form vs Result
On form, UCD arrived the stronger side — 3.00 PPG against 1.00. Form was overturned, with Bohemians winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Bohemians scored 3 against a 1.00 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.00 average — tighter than their form line. UCD managed 0 against a 2.00 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 3 against a 1.00 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss), form (miss). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
