Ballkani vs Bohemians
📖 The Preview
Ballkani are up against it here, needing to overturn a 2-1 first-leg deficit at home, and that desperation actually plays into this prediction. They have to come forward and they will, which opens space and virtually guarantees both teams get on the scoresheet. Bohemians have been in decent enough form across their last ten, but Ballkani's home pressure should see them level the tie before Bohemians nick a crucial away goal, leaving it 2-1 on the night and sending the Irish side through on aggregate.
