Drogheda United will be hoping to bounce back following their 5-0 defeat at the hands of league leaders Cork City. 

They will face a Bray Wanderers side who also lost their last game. The Seagulls will be disappointed to have dropped points last week when they lost 2-1 to Bohemians at the Carlisle Grounds. 

Drogheda's mauling at the hands of Cork at Turners Cross has seen them go four league games without a victory, and they are just one place from bottom of the league standings. 

Bray on the other hand are in third position, two points behind second placed Dundalk. They will be hoping their top scorer Gary McCabe can continue his fine form as they look to fight for second place. 

The last time these sides met was in the EA Sports League Cup at United Park, where Bray Wanderers advanced thanks to a 1-0 victory.
