Bray Wanderers take on the visitors Derry City at “Carlisle Grounds” in the gameweek 18 of the Irish Premier Division. The match will be played in Bray on Friday, June 16th.
Bray Wanderers are in the awful competitive form: the side has failed to win since the 12th of May across five consecutive clashes recording just two points earned in them. Moreover, Bray Wanderers lost two back-to back encounters of the season: 0:2 to Shamrock Rovers and 3:5 to Limerick. Those failures during last month cost to “The Seagulls” a place in the top-three sides. As a result, after 18 rounds they occupy the fourth position in the standings with 27 points gained and 35-31 goal difference. Bray Wanderers conducted eight clashes of the Premier Division in face of their fans resulting in 14 points taken, 16 goals for and 12 goals against.

On the contrary, Derry City recaptured their best form: the team has not been broken since the 22nd of April across 10 matches in a row. During that run “The Candystripes” got seven draws and three victories. As a result, Derry City sit on the third place in the table with 28 points earned and 26-17 goal difference. The team gained 11 points with 7-6 goal difference in eight encounters at away turfs. It should be admitted that last five away clashes of Derry City ended with draws.
Historically, Derry City show good results in their head-to-heads against Bray Wanderers. The forthcoming game will be a direct clash in the battle for the third position in the table. The hosting side collapsed in recent encounters. Meanwhile, the visitors are seemed to forget how it feels like to lose. I believe that it is going to be a tough fight with a little number of goals combined by the opponents.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
