The season is still fairly new and the First Division table has to be read with caution. So far Bray Wanderers find themselves in 6th position and Athlone Town are placed 1st.
- Athlone Town is in the best form (2-1-0)
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

The first First Division game here at Carlisle Grounds resulted in a draw. Last season Bray Wanderers's home game statistics were 6 victories, 1 draw and 2 defeats from 9 games. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Wanderers.
A 3-3 draw away before that, with Shelbourne the opponent.
