The decisive phase is slowly but surely beginning for the First Division teams. There are only ten matchdays left to achieve the goals set before the season. Tonight’s most interesting encounter will certainly be held in Bray.
Bray Wanderers vs Cobh Ramblers
The clash at the Carlisle Grounds could develop into a close affair. The Seagulls are in third place, just two points behind the second-placed Rams. While Cobh recently celebrated two consecutive victories, the Wanderers had to settle for a 2-2 draw against Finn Harps on Monday. However, both teams are generally in good form, and it is difficult to predict the winner in this highly anticipated top game.
Prediction Bray Wanderers 2 Cobh Ramblers 2
Dundalk vs Athlone Town
Of course, the Lilywhites will also be keeping an eye on the crunch meeting in Bray. But first and foremost, the league leaders must take care of business against Athlone. Anything other than a W against the bottom-placed Midlanders would be a disappointment for Ciarán Kilduff’s side.
Prediction Dundalk 2 Athlone Town 0
Kerry FC vs Finn Harps
After five losses in the league, Kerry have stabilised themselves a bit and earned four points from the last two games. Will this trend continue against the Harps? The Donegal side impressed on Monday against Bray Wanderers and is now hoping for an away win in Tralee.
Prediction Kerry FC 1 Finn Harps 1
UCD vs Wexford
The result was close. But UCD recently won 2-1 in Athlone and confirmed their overall good form. The Students are favoured against Wexford. Still, the visitors will be looking to show a reaction after their recent 4-0 defeat at Cobh.
Prediction UCD 2 Wexford 2
Longford Town vs Treaty United
In the only game on Saturday, Longford will be hoping to earn at least a point after three losses in a row. However, this task will be anything but easy. Treaty must be careful not to lose their current playoff spot. Therefore, a victory tomorrow evening at Bishopsgate will be the clear goal for the Shannonsiders.
Prediction Longford Town 1 Treaty United 2
