Match Preview - Wexford FC v Bray Wanderers

At the business end of the season in the race for the play-offs, Bray make the trip to Ferrycarrig Park on Tuesday to face Wexford FC. 

With just six games remaining in the First Division season, the Wicklow outfit are in fifth position. 

Currently two points separates the two teams in the table – with the Slaneysiders in third place. 

 

 

Defender Evan Osam is ruled out for the Green and White’s. 

 

 

Back in January, when the clubs faced off in the Leinster Senior Cup, Thomas Morgan’s goal was the difference in a 1-0 victory for Bray at Whitehall. 

When the teams met back at the end of March in League action, Wexford won 4-3 at the Carlisle Grounds. 

Cristian Magerusan gave the Seasiders the lead. A Mikie Rowe double put the visitors ahead before an Own Goal levelled the tie at 2-2. 

Aaron Dobbs put the away outfit 3-2 in front, but Cole Omorehiomwan grabbed an equaliser. Thomas Oluwa popped up with a late winner from the penalty spot. 

But in the reverse fixture at Ferrycarrig Park last May, the Green and White’s won 2-1. 

Rowe put the home team ahead. But a quick fire double by Magerusan midway through the second half saw Wanderers take the points. 

Back the Carlisle Grounds last July, Bray recorded a 3-1 win. 

Kieran Cruise’s opener was cancelled out by Dobbs. 

An Own Goal restored the Wicklow teams’ advantage before Peter Grogan sealed the victory late on.
