The attacking players of Wexford have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 195 minutes.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Wexford Youths, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Shamrock Rovers II (placed 7th). A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Cabinteely.

We have checked recent matches where Wexford have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those five games were one victory, one draw and three defeats.
