- Wexford Youths have the fewest scored goals (2) in First Division
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Cork City form and stats
Cork City have played three First Division home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. The Cork manager C. Healy might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Treaty United.
Cork City are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. Cork City have conceded 5 from these games.
Wexford Youths form and stats
It's not happening yet for Wexford Youths on their First Division travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? With the Wexford losing streak of six defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on B. O'Sullivan, the Wexford manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
Wexford are looking to quickly end their 182 minutes long goal drought in the First Division.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Athlone Town wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.
Wexford lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-6 beating and focus on this one.
Wexford Youths are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 0 goals from 3 away games. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Wexford have conceded 5 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
