Bohemians vs Bray Wanderers
These two are also already played one game this year, convincing win for Bohs 5:1 at home in the LSC game. Bray's manager Alan Mathews (perhaps their greatest strength after major changes in the off season) had a poor record against Bohs in the past (1-2-10). Home team will still be without two the most experienced midfielders D. Mulcahy (club captain) and A. Murphy. On the other side, the Seagulls will also be without their captain D. O'Connor (centre back), right winger A. Hanlon is also injured and regular goalie S. Redmond is suspended. After defensive formation in the last round at Dundalk, I expect few changes in the Bohs lineup: key midfielder R. McEvoy, in-form striker D. Corcoran and one of K. Devaney or S. Traynor should be back in the midfield. Promising striker C. Byrne (came from Shams Perth from Australia where he was a club's topscorer) should once again leading the Bray's forward line after being on the bench in the last game. Home team is the favorite, but I expect that Wanderers won't only defend while Bohs with better players are also capable for scoring since this will be the PD debut for the young opposing keeper.
