Bray Wanderers

DLLDDL ⚠

Bray Wanderers will be wanting a better result here following a 2-0 First Division loss in their previous game against Finn Harps.

David Cawley (45') was the scorer for Finn Harps.

Fixtures featuring Bray Wanderers have proved to be exciting affairs lately with high scoring the rule rather than the exception. Over their past half dozen clashes, a grand total of 21 goals have been recorded for both teams combined (at an average of 3.5 goals per game) with 8 of them accredited to Bray Wanderers.

A look at their previous results shows us that Bray Wanderers:

• are unbeaten in the league by Athlone in their last 2 matches.
• are undefeated in their last 2 home league matches.
• have not won at home in their last 5 matches in the league. Things will have to change soon.

Athlone

LDLDLW

Athlone come into this meeting following a 1-0 First Division win with the downing of Treaty United in their last outing.

The stats tell the story, and Athlone have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 10 goals in total. Defensively, Athlone have been far from perfect. Putting that to one side, we must now wait to see if that trend will be maintained in this game.

Leading up to this clash, Athlone:

• are winless against Bray Wanderers when having played them away from home in the previous 4 league games. Not the best of away records.
• are without a win away from home in their last 8 matches in the league. Who knows how long it might last, too.
