The visitors are W3-D3-L3 on the road this term. That's in the First Division.

Impressive finishing from Lovic and Barry secured the home win 2-1 against Longford Town in their previous game. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Ryan when Barry scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 78th minute.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Cobh Ramblers at their stadium, the result 3-0.

After this away game Wexford return home for a First Division game against Athlone Town. That game is only four sleeps after this.
