Bray Wanderers host Wexford at the Carlisle Grounds this Friday evening in a key First Division fixture, seeking to bounce back from a heavy defeat. The Seagulls were beaten 4-1 at home by Cobh Ramblers last week, a result that halted a run of three wins from their previous four matches.
That loss leaves Bray Wanderers second in the league table with 53 points from 34 games. Their recent form reads LWWWD, showing a mix of results that includes a draw with leaders Cork City and wins over UCD, Treaty United, and Kerry.
Recent head-to-head
The sides have split their last three meetings. Bray Wanderers thrashed Wexford 4-0 at home in May, but lost the most recent encounter 2-1 away in August. The overall head-to-head record this season stands at one win apiece.
Looking ahead
With Wexford currently eighth in the standings, this home game represents a significant opportunity for Bray Wanderers to regain momentum. The team will look to key performers like top scorer M. Murphy, who has eight goals this season, to lead the response. The squad list from the Cobh defeat featured players like R. Hogan, B. McCormack, and T. Sammy, providing a likely indication of the available selection.
Kick-off at the Carlisle Grounds is scheduled for 19:45 on Friday, October 9.
