Bray Wanderers vs Waterford United Predictions

Bray remain in disarray, and their meltdown looks set to take them down to the second tier. They pushed themselves in to the top six last term, but they were hugely over stretching themselves, and that is set to cost them a Premier Division place. However, all is not quite lost for Bray just yet. They do have time to spark an unlikely bid for survival, starting with Friday night’s encounter with Waterford. They may be facing off against the side who are currently third in the table, but can they cause a surprise?

Bray are out of form, having lost four of their last five matches. However, they did have a bit of a tricky run. Just one of those matches came at home, and the others were all away to sides in the top five of the Premier Division. Will they lose against another top five side, or is this a chance to boost their standing in the league? On the face of it, Waterford seem like deserved favourites. The bookies are certainly expecting another loss for Bray, although they did manage a point at home to Waterford when the pair met last month.

Bray have lost just one of their last four home league games, including that clash with Waterford. They could push for another result here too, as the visitors aren’t up to much on the road. They may be riding high in third spot, but they’ve got quite a gap between themselves and the top two, mainly due to their awful form on their travels this season.

Waterford have picked up just 28% of their points so far on the road, with the majority of their goals against coming away from home. They’ve scored 75% of their goals this season at their own ground, which spells problems ahead of this weekend. Suddenly this is a winnable game for the basement side, who will be looking to follow up a 4-1 victory over St Pat’s in their last home game.

Waterford have lost over half of their away trips so far, winning just 17% of their matches on the road. Meanwhile, Bray have lost just five of their 17 meetings with Waterford. They’re unbeaten in their last six clashes at home to this weekend’s opposition, claiming five wins in that time. That record could come back to hurt the visitors, and we see this being another tough fixture for them on their travels. We’re backing Bray double chance, as they have a fantastic opportunity to continue their upward trend at home.
