Fourth place Bray Wanderers will host third placed Derry City at the Carlisle Grounds this Friday hoping to overtake the Candystripes in the league standings. 

Bray come in to this game without a win in five, most recently on the wrong end of an eight-goal thriller against Limerick at Markets Field, which finished 5-3. 

Derry, on the other hand, are unbeaten in ten games, although they have recorded seven draws during this period.
