Since Bray played great match versus Cork, defending for 90 mins and managing goalless draw they were the worst team in league. 0:2, 0:2, 0:3 results versus UCD, Shamrock and St. Patricks. We can notice that they yet have to score, and their performances were really crappy. I can understand that Shamrock and St. Patrick are class above, but home loss to UCD who should be involved in relegation fight is a bit too much. In fact Bray didn't produced a single chance, their captain Cawley is man marked by every team they played as without team Bray can't create anything. Coach changes team from match to match, and i think if they

don't improve soon they are First Division material. For this match they will miss Foran and Doherty who are injured, McCabe is coming after suspension, but there are question marks over the few other players.

Harps are newcomer in the league, but they started off good, six points in first four rounds, having won both home games over two rivals from the behind - Cobh (2:1) and UCD (1:0). They've lost versus Derry 1:2 in away match, but it was kind of undeserved as they put up nice performance, and could have even won that match. Last match versus Bohemians

was their biggest loss, and their poorest performance. It all looked good until the 21' when Ramsay got suspended following his 2nd yellow card. Harps coach Hegarty was really upset about that suspension and he as well got red card. Later Bohs managed to score 1st goal and Harps couldn't get back into match. All was decided with goal from penalty in 62'. After that Harps tried to press and conceded another one after which both teams waited final whistle. Not the best performance, but against one of the strongest attacks in league with 10 men they couldn't go better. Bray will be chance for their first away points. For that match they could get Beckett back after injury, also captain Shields, who missed Bohs match due to personal reasons, could come back. Ramsay is suspended off course, same as coach Hegarty.

Conclusion: Very important match for both sides, but pressure is on Bray, home game, only one point in four rounds and without a goal scored. Atmosphere in team isn't good and they could find themselves in problems if Harps score or keep nil until the HT. Harps so far played good, scoring at least a goal in every match except last against Bohs. If Shields comes back, and following Beckett return they will be much stronger in midfield and in the back. Bray is totally without idea in front and i see tight result, depending on who will score first it could prove decisive. I can't trust Bray, and bookies tend to overestimate them in this match as Harps are newcomers. Bray is inefficient, but they won't defend against Harps, so i expect visitors to score... I don't expect Harps to lose here
