It’s the start of a busy Bank Holiday weekend for the Blues on Friday, in their first of two trips to Dublin over the next four days as they start off by taking on Bohemian FC at Dalymount Park in our latest SSE Airtricity Men’s Premier Division clash, and here’s everything you need to know ahead of kick-off!
Bohemian FC vs Waterford FC
SSE Airtricity Men’s Premier Division
Friday 2nd May, 2025
Dalymount Park, Dublin
WATERFORD FC
The Blues will look to build on last week’s win against Derry City FC with a result against an in-form Bohemian FC on Friday night in Dalymount Park.
Goals from Darragh Leahy & Pádraig Amond gave Matt Lawlor’s side an important 2-1 win in Lawlor’s first home-game in charge as interim head coach.
That win moved the Blues into 8th position in the league table onto 12 points, ahead of our trip to Phibsborough on Friday evening.
BOHEMIAN FC
Alan Reynolds side will look to continue their own recent good run of form with a positive result against the Blues.
Impressively, Bohemians have picked up maximum points from their last three games, with three late winners in each game against Cork City FC (1-0), Shamrock Rovers FC (3-2) & most recently last Friday against St. Patrick’s Athletic FC (2-1) where Sean Grehan scored a dramatic 97th minute winner.
Those wins see Bohemians currently sit in sixth position in the SSE Airtricity Men’s Premier Division table on 18 points going into Friday’s game in Dalymount Park.
TEAM NEWS
The Blues will be without Andy Boyle (Calf) & Trae Coyle (Hamstring) for the trip to Dublin on Friday, whilst Matty Smith continues his rehab following his long-term injury.
MATT LAWLOR’S THOUGHTS
“We are looking forwards to the trip to Dalymount Friday. Bohemians are in fine form at the moment but we will travel with a plan, hunger, desire and a will to play for the jersey. Two games in Four days over the Bank Holiday and we look forward to seeing all our supporters cheering us on.”
