After making it six successive winners in Sweden on Wednesday, Friday’s Football Bet of the Day sees me head to the Irish second tier, and I’ve highlighted a goals-based selection in one of the fixtures.
⚽️ Bray Wanderers vs Wexford
🇮🇪 First Division
⏰ Friday 23 May, 19:45
Bray Wanderers will look to keep pace with Irish First Division leaders Dundalk as they welcome fifth-placed Wexford to Carlisle Grounds on Friday night in a fixture that appeals to me for goals.
Paul Heffernan’s hosts are the second-highest scorers in the Irish First Division this term, slamming in 25 goals across their opening 15 matches, with an impressive 18 (72%) of them coming in front of their supporters.
The Seagulls have found the back of the net in all seven of their league outings on home soil – notching on multiple occasions in each of their last six – and will be confident of breaching a Wexford defence that has recorded a solitary shutout across their past 11 league clashes.
Stephen Elliot’s visitors have scored 20 goals across their opening 15 fixtures in the Irish second tier this campaign, with 10 (50%) of them coming on their travels.
The Youths have found the back of the net in 11 (73%) of their league outings this term – including in 6/7 (86%) of their away matches – and will look to trouble a Bray backline that’s kept just two clean sheets at home this season.
Bet of the Day
Bray’s opening 15 Irish First Division matches this season have averaged a league-high 2.93 goals per game, with Over 2.5 Goals landing in nine (60%) of them, including in each of their last four and six of their past seven.
Those numbers rise significantly when playing on home soil, with their opening seven league contests in front of their supporters averaging an eye-catching 3.71 goals per game, with Over 2.5 Goals paying out in six (86%) of them.
Last season’s entertainers, Wexford, have seen their opening seven away matches in the second tier this campaign, averaging 2.57 goals per game, with Over 2.5 Goals banking in seven (57%) of them, including in three of their past five.
What’s more, this fixture tends to produce goals, with their last five Irish First Division clashes at this venue averaging a whopping 4.60 goals per game, with Over 2.5 Goals landing on each occasion.
