Bray Wanderers v Cork City Preview and Prediction

Date/Time: 27^th July 2018 (Kick-off 7:45 PM, GMT)

On Friday night, rock-bottom Bray Wanderers host title-chasing Cork City in the Irish Premier Division.

Bray are struggling at the wrong end of the table, six points from the relegation play-off spot. Meanwhile, Cork are just a point off the top of the table but have played a game more than leaders Dundalk.

A record of two victories from their last 11 matches in the Irish top-flight illustrates why the Wanderers are in their current position in the table. Despite their recent struggles, the home sides form at Carlisle Grounds has been decent.

In fact, Bray are currently undefeated in their last four home outings in the Premier Division, having recorded two victories and picked up two draws. The Wanderers have also scored two or more goals in three of their last four home league games.
