Longford Town welcome Bray Wanderers to Bishopsgate on Saturday evening to round off the weekend in the First Division.
Longford have only registered one win so far this season and currently sit 8th in the league. They have failed to register a goal in their last three games. Wayne Groves’ men will look to turn their fortunes around against a Bray side who have failed to capitalise on golden chances.
Bray dropped points in their last two matches, extending the gap to Cork City to eight points. They drew last week against Finn Harps at home, thanks to two equalisers from Richard Ferizaj and Sean Brennan. Paul Heffernan’s squad will look to turn around their recent poor performances.

Key Players
Full back Osaze Irhue was particularly impressive against Bray last time out, providing a huge threat going forward and doing an excellent job against the Bristol City-bound Billy O’Neill. If Longford hopes to improve their situation, Irhue will be a significant contributor.
Richard Ferizaj scored a goal for Bray last time out against Longford. He also registered an equaliser last week against Finn Harps. Ferizaj is sure to be full of confidence against a defence he has already bagged a goal against and an impressive performance last week.
