Bohemians will look to kickstart their Conference League campaign in style when they welcome St Joseph’s to Dublin for the first leg of the opening qualifying round. As David faces Goliath at Dalymount Park, our prediction firmly points toward a 3-0 home win. The Irish outfit head into the clash in excellent spirits, having won each of their last three Premier Division matches without conceding a goal. The return of influential defender Patrick Hickey from suspension is another major boost for the hosts, while the coaching staff have no fresh injury concerns ahead of Thursday’s encounter. Bohemians have also been impressive in attack of late, averaging 2.2 goals per game across their last ten matches.
St Joseph’s, on the other hand, face a difficult assignment. The Gibraltar side have not played a competitive match since April and are expected to lack the sharpness needed for a demanding European away fixture. While they enjoyed a respectable domestic campaign, they have traditionally struggled to make an impact on the continental stage. With Bohemians in excellent form, boasting three consecutive clean-sheet victories, the Irish side should take control from the first whistle and put themselves in a commanding position ahead of the return leg.
Bohemians are in excellent form and should prove too strong for the visitors. Therefore, Home Win seems like a sure bet, alongside Bohemians to Win to Nil and Over 2.5 goals (Bohemians' last ten matches have averaged 3.7 goals, and they should create plenty of chances against an inexperienced European opponent).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 9 July 2026 at 18:00.
