Bray Wanderers
DWLWLL
Following on from being beaten in their last game against Kerry in First Division action, Bray Wanderers will be aiming to make amends here.
The only name on the scoresheet from Bray Wanderers was Max Murphy (51').
Bray Wanderers have had no problems opening up opposition defences leading up to this encounter, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 matches. Having said that, Bray Wanderers can also improve defensively after being scored against in 6 of those same games. That kind of pattern isn’t assured to be sustained into this match, of course.

Prediction
When taking all factors into account, Bray Wanderers and Athlone could end up without much reward for their efforts here.
We’ll have to see, but a draw might be on the cards. With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very even match with a 0-0 draw at the end of the match.
