Bray Wanderers's first First Division home game here at Carlisle Grounds ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 5 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats from 13 matches.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 338 minutes without scoring a league goal. Kavanagh was the last player to find the net.

Bray Wanderers lost their last game at Waterford United (placed 1st) after a 0-1 scoreline.

Before that game, the home loss against Cork City with the scoreline 0-6.

This is expected to be a close game, with Bray Wanderers perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Bray Wanderers as a small favourite), we find seven games. Bray Wanderers has won two of these, drawn three and lost two.

The manager Devlin will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Longford Town in only three days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Bray Wanderers at home in the league. 0 on target and 6 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
