Bray Wanderers will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 5 points behind Cabinteely.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the FAI Cup. That game, against Bohemians, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Cabinteely.
Bray Wanderers form and stats
4-1-0 (win-draw-lost) are the First Division numbers at home for Bray Wanderers, who have the most clean sheets (7) in First Division, so far this season. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Bray Wanderers, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Wanderers, as their goalkeeper Brian Philip Maher has completely shut out the opponents for 363 minutes in the First Division.
The Wanderers crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Finn Harps here at Carlisle Grounds in a FAI Cup match. Preceding that game was the away draw at Galway United that finished 0-0.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Wanderers have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found one game) they have won one time, drawn zero and lost zero.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Athlone Town are coming to town in three days.
Wanderers are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 5 games. As for guarding their own goal, Wanderers have only let in 0 goals at home.
Cabinteely form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the the best goal difference (+6) away in First Division, on their First Division travels is 3 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats.
Cabinteely are travelling again after losing away to Bohemians in their previous match (0-2). Preceding that, the 0-3 home loss versus UCD.
Cabinteely are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, one draw and two defeats. From a total of four matches.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Cabinteely manager P. Devlin as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Drogheda United.
The Cabinteely manager P. Devlin has got the team scoring on the road, with 8 away goals in 4 league matches. Cabinteely are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 2 goals away.
