Eircom League - Derry City vs Bray Football betting preview

After great form before the break Bray returned to the season with a draw and a loss. 1:1 away draw with Pats is a decent result, but 0:1 loss to Harps can't be rated as good enough. On the other side, Derry isn't much better themselves, 0:3 loss to Pats, but also away win vs Drogheda (1:0) and goalless draw in Sligo.

Here i see two teams with different ambitions, Bray aim this season is to be in safe mid-table position, they've already secured few points that should leave them safe. Anyway, Derry isn't place where they will look for points, and they know it. Derry ambitions are much higher, their aim was title, but they are IMO too inconsistent for it. Now, they will look for Euro/Setanta Cups and to acquire that they will need to stay above Drogheda and Sligo.

Derry needs win here, they've failed to win in last two (that five points would bring them only two points from top) and they will be highly motivated today. They showed what they are capable of in League Cup vs Bohs (4:1) and coach Kenny will try to build on that. Derry players Morrison and Gray are questionable for this match...

Bray will have significant problems today, three important players are out, defender Tresson, midfielder Whelan and goalie O'Connor are out for this match and i see this as a great Derry opportunity to get back on the winning track...
