Bohemians to enhance European hopes against Waterford
2246

On Saturday afternoon, Waterford host Bohemians in the Irish Premier Division, as the home side looks to move away from trouble and the visitors hope to move closer to the European spots.

Waterford have endured a poor campaign in the Irish top-flight and currently sit just two points clear of the relegation play-off spot. However, despite their relatively lowly position, things are looking up for the home team.

In fact, a 2-1 win at Drogheda United last time out means that they have now claimed three straight league wins.

England-born midfielder Joseph Quitirna has played a crucial part in the recent good run, scoring two goals in just three games for the home side. The former Charlton youngster could be one to watch for the future.

United have taken four points from their last two home league games, but have won just one of their last seven Premier Division games on home soil. A 1-0 home win over Sligo Rovers ended a six-game winless home run.

Bohemians recent action has mostly been in the UEFA Europa Conference League, as they have made it to the third qualifying round of the competition. Their European action means that the visitors have not played in the league since mid-July.

Keith Long’s team are fourth-place in the table, seven points outside the top-three which guarantees a place in the play-offs for European action next season. The visitor's recent general form is good, while they have won five of their last eight matches in the Premier Division, having suffered just one defeat in the process.

Bohemians recent away form in the Irish top-flight has been poor, as they have won just once in six league games on their travels.

Forebet predicts that Waterford’s recent good run of form will end with Bohemians recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
