Bohs entered season good, with four wins in first five games, losing only to Pats at home. Although they haven't been much effective lately they are still one of the teams with best attack, and their home match against strugglers Harps showed it (3:0). Defense once again proved as their strong point as they've conceded only two goals so far. So far their solid team played good, and there were even some improvements in recent rounds, as in eg. in last derby vs Shamrock referee was clearly against Bohs, but they still managed to win, allowing Rovers only two shots on target in whole match. I expect their team to act good in recent weeks, especially in May when they will have all players finally fit. For this match they will miss club captain Hunt who is injured for some time now, Kelly and Oman are also questionable after they've skipped last match cause of flu. However, Brennan is back after suspension, Fenn and Cronin are fit again, and Bohs teams looks better then in last round.

Bray so far looks like a worst team in league. Their performances, except in first match versus Cork, were awful. Their first goal came in last round versus Harps in match which they didn't deserved to win with their performance, but Harps missed penalty and few good chances in the end so it's more of a Harps problem. Fact is that Bray was totally outplayed in most of their games so far, and their inefficiency will probably cost them relegation. For this match they will miss their long term injuries Foran and Doherty.

Conclusion: Bohemians are clear favorite in this one, Bray are one of the worst teams in leagues, and totally inefficient, playing against one of the best defenses in league and team that is one level above them. Bohs striker Crowe is in great form, scoring three goals in last three games, if few times top scorer of LOI - Byrne finds his form Bray could be demolished. They never had good results when playing in Dublin versus Gypsies and i don't think this time it'll be any different. Usually i wouldn't go with such high stake, but Bet365 has really good offer which, i think, won't last too long and is worth high stake no matter the risk.

Predicted score: 3:0
